Julius I Foust Elementary

Summary:

Julius I Foust Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 236 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Guilford County Schools district.

While Julius I Foust Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of minority students compared to surrounding schools, with 47.88% African American and 40.68% Hispanic enrollment, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools. Its proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are significantly lower than district and state averages, and over 98% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 12.9 students per teacher suggests it may have adequate resources, though these have not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Interestingly, when analyzing the school's performance by student subgroups, there are significant achievement gaps between minority and non-minority students. Yet, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as David D Jones Elementary and Archer Elementary, serve similar student populations but perform significantly better on state assessments, suggesting factors beyond just demographics may be contributing to the academic performance differences.

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.
