Shadybrook Elementary

Summary:

Shadybrook Elementary is a public elementary school in High Point, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Guilford County Schools district. With a diverse student population, Shadybrook Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic performance, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shadybrook Elementary's academic success is particularly noteworthy, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. The school has shown strong performance across different student subgroups, including a 5-star rating for its Hispanic student population. Additionally, Shadybrook Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic achievements. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools like Southwest Elementary, which has consistently outperformed Shadybrook, the school still stands out as a high-performing institution within the Guilford County Schools district.

Another key factor that sets Shadybrook Elementary apart is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which has increased significantly in recent years. This suggests the school is effectively supporting a large population of economically disadvantaged students, a testament to its commitment to providing quality education to all its students. While the school's higher-than-average spending per student may contribute to its success, the comparison to nearby schools with even higher per-student spending but lower academic performance highlights the importance of factors beyond just funding in driving student outcomes.

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.
