Sedgefield Middle

Summary:

Sedgefield Middle is a public middle school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 501 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Sedgefield Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (39.72%) and Hispanic (12.18%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading were below the district and state averages. Despite these challenges, Sedgefield Middle's statewide ranking has improved over the years, moving from the bottom 10% of North Carolina middle schools in 2017-2018 to the middle 50% in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sedgefield Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While White students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of North Carolina middle schools, African American and Hispanic students perform significantly below the state average, ranking in the bottom 20% and bottom 30%, respectively. Additionally, Sedgefield Middle has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These factors suggest that Sedgefield Middle faces unique challenges that require a tailored approach to address the needs of its diverse 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.
