Summary:

Deep River Elementary is a public elementary school in Sanford, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Lee County Schools district.

Deep River Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, and its 5th-grade science proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state. However, the school's reading proficiency, especially in 3rd grade, has been lower than the district and state averages. The school's diverse student population includes a high percentage of students from low-income families, and its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students have performed well, ranking in the top 25-30% of North Carolina elementary schools. In contrast, the school's Gifted and Talented student subgroup has performed relatively poorly.

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.

The school was fine until the 3rd and 5th grades. We experienced bullying and nothing was done about it. Another kid had to change schools. If it's the same kid bullying multiple children then that kid should be dealt with. Instead the rest of us had to just deal with it. We also experienced VERY inappropriate behavior from a teacher who picked on and lied about several children. At least she was caught. Close Quote

My child just finished 5th grade at Deep River and it was a wonderful experience. The teachers are youthful, energetic, and really care about the success of their students. For the first year, I wasn't receiving calls about my son getting in trouble every other day. Also, after years of test struggles, my son passed everyone of this tests. Thank you Deep River for everything. Close Quote

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.
