John Van Lindley Elementary

Summary:

John Van Lindley Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 468 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Guilford County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores, with particularly strong performance in Mathematics, Reading, and Science.

One of the school's unique characteristics is its diverse student population, with a relatively even distribution of White (50.64%), African American (26.92%), and Hispanic (16.45%) students. This diversity sets it apart from many nearby schools, such as Sternberger Elementary and General Greene Elementary, which have a much higher concentration of either African American or White students. The school's diverse student population could contribute to a rich learning environment and help prepare students for success in an increasingly diverse world.

While John Van Lindley Elementary excels in the performance of many student subgroups, including Female, Male, White, and Hispanic students, the school's rankings for African American and English Language Learner students are relatively lower, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these populations to ensure equitable outcomes. Overall, John Van Lindley Elementary is a strong-performing elementary school that serves a diverse student population and consistently delivers high-quality education, making it a valuable asset to the Greensboro community.

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.
