Pink Hill Elementary

Summary:

Pink Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pink Hill, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 459 and is part of the Lenoir County Public Schools district.

Pink Hill Elementary consistently outperforms the Lenoir County Public Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic proficiency, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and Reading compared to state averages. The school also excels in supporting the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, ranking among the top elementary schools in North Carolina for these subgroups. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 99.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Pink Hill Elementary's low-socioeconomic status students also perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

While Pink Hill Elementary outperforms the Lenoir County Public Schools district, some nearby schools within the district, such as Southeast Elementary and Northwest Elementary, struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. In contrast, Moss Hill Elementary, located 8.11 miles away, has a stronger academic performance, ranking among the top elementary schools in North Carolina. However, one area of concern for Pink Hill Elementary is its performance in the Gifted and Talented program, where the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, suggesting a need to re-evaluate its approach to identifying and supporting its high-achieving students.

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.
