Lansdowne Elementary

Summary:

Lansdowne Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school consistently outperforms the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics and Reading.

Lansdowne Elementary's academic excellence is evident across various student subgroups, including Female, Male, African American, Hispanic, and White students. The school's performance for Gifted and Talented students has been strong, ranking in the top 25% of North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school's outcomes for Low Socioeconomic Status and Disabled students suggest areas for further support and intervention. Compared to nearby schools, Lansdowne stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outranking its peers in the district, including Elizabeth Lane Elementary, Sharon Elementary, and Olde Providence Elementary, which serve more affluent student populations.

Lansdowne Elementary's success can be attributed to its focus on equity and inclusive practices, coupled with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district average. This combination of factors contributes to the school's ability to deliver strong academic results across a diverse student population, making it a standout institution in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

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.
