The school is part of the Edgecombe County Public Schools district, which is ranked 213 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stocks Elementary stands out for several key factors. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (73.96%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 36.01% to 91.03% African American students. Academically, Stocks Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 1088 and 1436 out of 1505 schools over the past 8 years. The school's performance on state assessments is also significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Stocks Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as G.W. Carver Elementary and Coker-Wimberly Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and rankings compared to Stocks Elementary, despite serving similar student populations in terms of racial makeup and economic disadvantage. Stocks Elementary's performance is particularly low for male students, white students, and students with disabilities, ranking in the bottom 25% of North Carolina schools for these subgroups. The school's persistent struggles highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to its underperformance.

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.
