Summary:

Troutman Elementary is a public elementary school in Troutman, North Carolina, serving 698 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Iredell-Statesville Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 242 districts in the state.

Troutman Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state in standardized test scores across grades 3-5 in mathematics, reading, and science. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 71.1% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 68.3% for the district and 66.2% for the state. However, the school's rankings for English Language Learner (ELL) students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are relatively lower, indicating potential areas for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Troutman Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (60.89%) and lower percentages of African American (14.04%) and Hispanic (16.19%) students. While the school generally outperforms other schools in the Iredell-Statesville Schools district, it faces competition from strong-performing schools like Sherrills Ford Elementary and some local charter schools, such as Iredell Charter Academy of Arts & Science. Additionally, the school's increasing proportion of students from low-income households, with free and reduced-price lunch recipients rising from 36.49% to 54.15% in the past year, may present challenges in maintaining its high performance and addressing the evolving needs of its student population.

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.
