Clara J Peck Elementary

Summary:

Clara J Peck Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 268 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Despite serving a predominantly African American (50%) and Hispanic (32.46%) student population, Clara J Peck Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores for mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 33.3% to 55.8% in math and 25.6% to 45.5% in reading, lagging behind the state's proficiency rates of 58.1% to 62.7% and 48.7% to 52.8%, respectively. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency of 61.9% is closer to the state's 66.2%.

Interestingly, while Clara J Peck Elementary's overall performance is in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, the school's African American and Hispanic students generally perform better than the overall school, ranking in the top half of the state for these subgroups. In contrast, the school's performance for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students is in the bottom half. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 98% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) is likely a significant factor contributing to its academic challenges. Nearby schools like Archer Elementary, John Van Lindley Elementary, and David D Jones Elementary generally outperform Clara J Peck Elementary, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be at play.

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.
