Jamesville Elementary consistently outperforms the Martin County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Jamesville Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics (80.6% for 3rd grade, 65.5% for 4th grade, and 56.5% for 5th grade) compared to the district (60.4%, 52%, and 45.1%) and the state (62.7%, 56.6%, and 58.1%). The school's performance is also strong for certain student subgroups, such as female students and African American students, who rank significantly higher than the overall school ranking.

Despite its academic success, Jamesville Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly 99% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 15.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the ratios at nearby schools like South Creek Elementary, Rodgers Elementary, and E.J. Hayes Elementary. Additionally, Jamesville Elementary has a more racially diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, which could be an asset in providing a more inclusive learning environment.

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.
