Albemarle Road Elementary

Summary:

Albemarle Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 755 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albemarle Road Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (58.01%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 46.47% to 72.98% Hispanic students. The school also has a lower percentage of White students (2.38%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 4.28% to 8.61% White students. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on the End-of-Grade (EOG) tests, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading that are significantly lower than the state and district. This has led to the school ranking in the bottom 15-20% of elementary schools in North Carolina over the past several years.

While the school's diverse student population presents both challenges and opportunities, the data suggests that Albemarle Road Elementary may need to examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its predominantly Hispanic and Economically Disadvantaged student population. Nearby schools, such as Piney Grove Elementary and Movement School Eastland, which also serve predominantly minority and Economically Disadvantaged students, generally outperform Albemarle Road Elementary on academic measures, suggesting that the school may have opportunities to learn from its peers and implement more effective strategies to support student success.

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.

Open Quote Albemarle Road Elementary is not a place where any child should attend school. The majority of children are children of color from impoverished families. These children, with high levels of trauma, are being institutionalized as the school mimics a prison.
Teachers screaming at children to remain perfectly silent in perfectly straight lines. The school Social Worker and EC Director are both white and with the school being majority children of color, you can see why the performance is so low. How can people who don’t understand marginalized populations actually service these children in an impactful way? 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.
