Youngsville Elementary

Summary:

Youngsville Elementary is a public elementary school in Youngsville, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school has consistently outperformed the Franklin County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic metrics, including standardized test scores.

Youngsville Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 5th-grade students achieving an 85.2% proficiency rate in EOG Mathematics and an 88.5% proficiency rate in EOG Science, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school has also maintained a strong statewide ranking, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in North Carolina. Notably, the school's African American, White, and low socioeconomic status (SES) students have all performed exceptionally well, with the low-SES students ranking in the top 58 out of 1,450 North Carolina elementary schools.

While Youngsville Elementary outperforms nearby schools like Franklinton Elementary and Long Mill Elementary, it does not quite match the performance of some of the top-ranked schools in the Wake County Schools district, such as Heritage Elementary, Jones Dairy Elementary, and Envision Science Academy. However, Youngsville Elementary's strong academic performance, diverse student population, and low student-teacher ratio make it a standout institution within its own district and the state of North Carolina.

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.
