Coker-Wimberly Elementary

Summary:

Coker-Wimberly Elementary is a public elementary school in Battleboro, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 252 students. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Coker-Wimberly Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels. The school has a much higher percentage of African American (59.13%) and Hispanic (25.4%) students compared to the state average, and over 98% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was just 21.7%, compared to the state average of 62.7% and the Nash County Public Schools district average of 45.7%.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Princeville Elementary and M.B. Hubbard Elementary, Coker-Wimberly consistently underperforms, even among its own subgroups. The school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall school average but still lag behind their peers at the state and district levels. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending, these academic challenges persist, suggesting that targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to improve student learning outcomes.

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.
