Jamestown Middle

Summary:

Jamestown Middle is a public middle school in Jamestown, North Carolina, serving around 940 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jamestown Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (41.7%) and Asian (10.53%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the Guilford County Schools and North Carolina state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th-grade math proficiency rate was 38.1%, compared to 37.8% for Guilford County and 46.9% for the state. Jamestown Middle's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking relatively higher for African American and White students, but lower for Asian, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented students.

Jamestown Middle's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Southwest Guilford Middle and Allen Jay Middle - A Preparatory Academy, which have higher proficiency rates in most subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Jamestown Middle's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 335 out of 691 North Carolina middle schools in 2016-2017 to 449 out of 793 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other middle schools in the state. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (68.62% in 2022-2023) and its low ranking for homeless students (44 out of 50 NC middle schools in 2022-2023) suggest the need for additional support and resources to address the challenges faced by students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
