Ibraham Elementary

Summary:

Ibraham Elementary is a public elementary school in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, serving 358 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of African American and Hispanic students, consistently low academic performance, and an extremely high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Ibraham Elementary has consistently ranked 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. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 13.4 to 14.8 students per teacher, but its performance continues to decline, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1215 out of 1425 North Carolina elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1459 out of 1505 in 2023-2024. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, who perform in the bottom 25-50% of their peers statewide.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Cash Elementary, Cook Literacy Model School, and Mineral Springs Elementary generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Ibraham Elementary may be unique or more pronounced compared to its neighbors, likely due to the school's high poverty levels and the significant achievement gaps that need to be addressed.

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.
