Kernodle Middle

Summary:

Kernodle Middle is a public middle school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 745 students in grades 6-8. As part of the Guilford County Schools district, Kernodle Middle consistently ranks among the top 15% of middle schools in the state, with strong academic performance that exceeds district and state averages.

Kernodle Middle's academic success is particularly noteworthy, with 70.5% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to 49.6% for the district and 54.3% for the state. The school's performance is especially strong in Science, with 84.2% of 8th graders proficient or better, well above the district (65.2%) and state (70.1%) averages. Kernodle Middle's diverse student population, with 49.13% White, 23.89% African American, 11.14% Hispanic, and 10.07% Asian students, is higher than many nearby schools, which tend to have more homogeneous populations. Additionally, the school's lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (40.27%) compared to nearby schools contributes to its strong academic performance, particularly among its low-socioeconomic status students.

In comparison to nearby schools, Kernodle Middle outperforms most on state assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science. Schools like Northwest Guilford Middle and Northern Guilford Middle, which have higher percentages of White students and lower rates of economically disadvantaged students, also perform well academically, but not to the same degree as Kernodle Middle. In contrast, schools with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students, as well as higher rates of economic disadvantage, such as Swann Middle School and Jackson Middle, struggle academically and rank in the bottom quarter of North Carolina middle schools.

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.
