Vienna Elementary

Summary:

Vienna Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pfafftown, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 768 students. The school is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, which is ranked 164 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vienna Elementary consistently ranks among the top 10% of elementary schools in North Carolina, with a statewide ranking between 32 and 115 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 80% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math, compared to 60% for the district and 62.7% for the state. Vienna Elementary also has a higher percentage of White students (68.36%) and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (28.78%) compared to the nearby schools, such as Sherwood Forest Elementary, Southwest Elementary, and Speas Elementary.

While Vienna Elementary's high performance is commendable, the school's demographic differences from the surrounding schools raise important questions about equity and the need to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and moderate spending per student suggest that it may be allocating resources effectively, but the nearby schools, particularly those with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, may face greater challenges in terms of resource allocation and supporting student needs.

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.
