Summary:

Pittman Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state standardized tests in Mathematics, Reading, and Science across all grade levels. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school's performance for African American students, while still below state and district averages, is relatively stronger, ranking in the bottom 50% of North Carolina elementary schools.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, such as Everetts Elementary S.T.E.M. Academy, Hollister Elementary Leadership Academy, and Aurelian Springs Institute of Global Lea, Pittman Elementary's academic performance remains significantly below the state and district averages. The nearby schools also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools, though Aurelian Springs Institute of Global Lea performs significantly better than Pittman Elementary.

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.
