Summary:

Pleasant Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Gastonia, North Carolina, serving 866 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gaston County Schools district, which is ranked 158 out of 242 districts in the state.

Pleasant Ridge Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (40.65%) and Hispanic (29.21%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 54.2%, compared to the district's 54.2% and the state's 62.7%. The school's African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students consistently perform in the bottom half of their respective statewide subgroups, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, Pleasant Ridge Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the surrounding schools.

For instance, Hawks Nest STEAM Academy, a magnet school just 3.47 miles away, consistently outperforms Pleasant Ridge Elementary across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past few years, from 890 out of 1,489 North Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,191 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is not making sufficient progress in 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.
