Ben L. Smith High School

Summary:

Ben L. Smith High School is a public high school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 242 districts in the state.

Despite its diverse student population, which is 47.63% African American and 38.8% Hispanic, Ben L. Smith High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in end-of-course assessments. The school ranks in the bottom 15% of North Carolina high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Performance varies significantly across student subgroups, with Asian and African American students performing better than Hispanic and White students, while English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students perform significantly lower. The school's spending per student of $10,645 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student achievement.

Interestingly, Ben L. Smith High School is located in close proximity to several higher-performing schools, such as GTCC Middle College High, Philip J. Weaver Educational Center, and Grimsley High School, suggesting that the challenges faced by Ben L. Smith High School may be more systemic in nature. However, the school appears to be providing relatively stronger support for homeless students and English Language Learners, indicating that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and strategies.

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.
