Allenbrook Elementary

Summary:

Allenbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 255 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a majority of African American students and significant percentages of Hispanic and Asian students, setting it apart from some nearby schools.

Allenbrook Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1 to 4 stars on the SchoolDigger scale. However, the school has demonstrated particular strengths in certain subject areas, such as 5th-grade science, where its proficiency rates have consistently exceeded the state and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district averages. The school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups have also performed exceptionally well, earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

While Allenbrook Elementary lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools like Paw Creek Elementary and Tuckaseegee Elementary in overall academic achievement, it generally outperforms Oakdale Elementary and Ashley Park PreK-8 School. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 98%, suggests that it faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and academic outcomes, but the school's recent improvement in its statewide ranking is a positive sign that it is effectively addressing these challenges.

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.
