G W Bulluck Elementary

Summary:

G W Bulluck Elementary is a public elementary school in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, serving 609 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edgecombe County Public Schools district, which is ranked 213 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

G W Bulluck Elementary stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (58.29%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of White students (26.27%). Academically, G W Bulluck consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science well below state and district averages. Over 99% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The student-teacher ratio at G W Bulluck is also relatively high, ranging from 15.3 to 16.3 over the past few years.

These factors suggest that G W Bulluck Elementary is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population. When compared to nearby schools in the Edgecombe County and Nash County districts, G W Bulluck stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. Addressing the persistent low performance, racial disparities, and socioeconomic challenges at G W Bulluck will likely require comprehensive interventions and support to improve outcomes for the students.

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.
