Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy

Summary:

Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy is a public elementary school serving 149 students in grades PK-5 in the town of Scotland Neck, North Carolina, which is part of the Halifax County Schools district.

The school faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American student population (86-92%) and extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (98%), indicating a high-poverty student body. Academically, Scotland Neck Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates well below state averages in both math and reading across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Bertie County Schools district, such as Aulander Elementary and West Bertie Elementary, generally outperform the Halifax County schools, despite also serving high-poverty student populations. This suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve outcomes at Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy.

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.
