Hawk Eye Elementary

Summary:

Hawk Eye Elementary is a public elementary school in Red Springs, North Carolina, serving 363 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hoke County Schools district, which is ranked 167 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Hawk Eye Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Native American students (38.84%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 2.75% to 30.39%. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 1136 and 1438 out of around 1500 schools over the past several years. Its performance on state assessments is also significantly lower than the Hoke County and North Carolina averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Hawk Eye Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite higher per-student spending of $11,413, which is higher than the nearby schools (ranging from $8,635 to $12,042 per student), Hawk Eye Elementary has struggled to improve its outcomes and remains one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina. When compared to other schools in the Hoke County district, Hawk Eye Elementary consistently underperforms, with lower academic proficiency rates and lower overall rankings. This suggests that the challenges facing Hawk Eye Elementary may be unique or more pronounced than those of its neighboring 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.
