Eastway Middle consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG/Mathematics ranged from 23.7% to 29.9%, compared to 48.9% to 52.4% for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district and 46.9% to 54.3% for the state of North Carolina. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in North Carolina, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of schools statewide. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 735 out of 793 middle schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastway Middle's academic performance and school ranking are significantly lower than most of the nearby middle schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, such as Carmel Middle, Sedgefield Middle, and Piedmont Middle School, all of which outperform Eastway Middle by a wide margin on standardized tests and have higher school rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's diverse racial/ethnic composition may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population.

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.
