Fayetteville Street Elementary

Summary:

Fayetteville Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Durham, North Carolina, serving around 230 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant challenges, with its students consistently underperforming the district and state averages, particularly in reading.

Fayetteville Street Elementary has a student population that is predominantly African American (48.7%) and Hispanic (43.04%), with a much lower percentage of White (4.35%) and Asian (0%) students compared to nearby schools. The school's academic performance is in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's African American students perform better than the district and state averages for this subgroup. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 98% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is a key factor contributing to the challenges it faces.

Interestingly, the nearby Morehead Montessori and Pearsontown Elementary, which are also part of the Durham Public Schools district, have significantly higher academic performance and a more diverse student population compared to Fayetteville Street Elementary. This suggests that the challenges faced by Fayetteville Street Elementary may be specific to the school itself, rather than a reflection of the district's overall capabilities. Additionally, the school with the closest proximity, C.C. Spaulding Elementary, has a similar student population and also struggles with low academic performance, indicating that the concentrated poverty and racial segregation in the immediate vicinity may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
