Reedy Fork Elementary

Summary:

Reedy Fork Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving around 500 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged and academically underperforming compared to state and district averages.

Reedy Fork Elementary's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with below-average scores on state standardized tests. However, the school has shown stronger performance among certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who have ranked in the top 25-30% of their respective subgroups in the state. This suggests that the school may be effectively addressing the needs of these subgroups, despite the challenges faced by the overall student population. Interestingly, Reedy Fork Elementary has a more racially diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Northern Guilford Elementary, which has a predominantly White student body.

One key differentiating factor for Reedy Fork Elementary is its exceptionally high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This is in contrast to the nearby schools, which have lower percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Reedy Fork Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 16.4 students per teacher, which may suggest a greater level of individual attention and support for students compared to some of the nearby 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.
