Sedgefield Elementary

Summary:

Sedgefield Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 466 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Sedgefield Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (50.86%) compared to nearby schools like Cyrus P Frazier Elementary (14.17%) and Clara J Peck Elementary (32.46%). Additionally, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science that are well below the district and state averages. Over 99% of Sedgefield's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Sedgefield has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to surrounding schools, this has not translated to stronger academic performance. The school's persistent underperformance, coupled with its racial and socioeconomic disparities, suggest that factors beyond just class size may be contributing to the challenges faced by Sedgefield Elementary. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, targeted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at this school.

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.
