Summary:

Chapel Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Gastonia, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population that is predominantly white (60.22%), Chapel Grove Elementary stands out from nearby schools like Sherwood Elementary, which has a more diverse student body.

Academically, Chapel Grove Elementary struggles, with lower proficiency rates on End-of-Grade (EOG) tests compared to the Gaston County Schools and North Carolina state averages. The school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 54.2%, below the district and state averages of 54.2% and 62.7%, respectively.

However, the data also shows that Hawks Nest STEAM Academy, a public magnet school in the Gaston County Schools district, significantly outperforms Chapel Grove Elementary and other nearby schools on academic measures. This suggests that targeted educational programs may be beneficial for improving student 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.
