Friedberg Elementary

Summary:

Friedberg Elementary is a public elementary school in Winston Salem, North Carolina, serving 439 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Davidson County Schools district, which is ranked 100 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Friedberg Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade. Friedberg Elementary's performance is especially strong for its Hispanic and Gifted and Talented student subgroups, ranking in the top 10% and top 5% of North Carolina elementary schools, respectively. However, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 20.51% to 38.04% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the surrounding schools, many of which have over 90% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The racial makeup of Friedberg Elementary is notably different from the surrounding schools, such as Bolton Elementary, Clemmons Elementary, and Diggs-Latham Elementary, with a much higher percentage of White students. This demographic difference may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, as research suggests that socioeconomic factors can play a significant role in student outcomes. The significant differences in free and reduced lunch rates between Friedberg Elementary and the surrounding schools may indicate potential equity issues within the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
