Druid Hills Academy

Summary:

Druid Hills Academy is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a student population of 270 that is predominantly African American (65.56%) and Hispanic (26.67%). Despite its small student-teacher ratio, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science compared to the district and state averages.

Druid Hills Academy's struggles are compounded by its extremely high poverty rates, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby schools, such as Oaklawn Language Academy, which outperforms Druid Hills Academy across all subject areas and grade levels, the school's academic performance is particularly concerning. The school's low-income and minority student populations may be contributing factors to its poor outcomes, as research has shown that these subgroups often face additional challenges that can impact their educational attainment.

Despite the school's small student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, Druid Hills Academy's academic performance remains well below the district and state averages. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the unique needs of the Druid Hills Academy community, in collaboration with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district and the broader community.

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.
