Bethesda Elementary

Summary:

Bethesda Elementary is a public elementary school in Durham, North Carolina, serving 617 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Durham Public Schools district, which is ranked 163 out of 242 districts in the state.

Bethesda Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 43.9% of 3rd graders, 42.6% of 4th graders, and 32.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 62.7%, 56.6%, and 58.1%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and economically disadvantaged students, though its Gifted and Talented students rank in the top 5% of North Carolina elementary schools.

While the nearby schools, such as Y.E. Smith Elementary, Oak Grove Elementary, and R.N. Harris Elementary, also struggle academically, some, like R.N. Harris Elementary, are able to outperform Bethesda Elementary, especially for certain student subgroups. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and relatively lower per-student spending may be contributing factors to its academic 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.
