Gov's Village STEM (Lower)

Summary:

Gov's Village STEM (Lower) is an elementary public magnet school in Charlotte, North Carolina that serves 762 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 districts in the state.

Gov's Village STEM (Lower) has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American (59.06%) and Hispanic (24.54%) students, as well as a significant Asian student population (10.5%) that is higher than nearby schools. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 30% to 45% in mathematics and 30% to 40% in reading, which is below the district and state averages. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.78% to 66.01%, indicating a large proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.4 to 15.6, the school's academic performance is generally worse than nearby schools like Mallard Creek Elementary and United Community School.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students ranking in the bottom 10-20% of their peers in the state, while African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and homeless students perform better in comparison. These findings suggest that the school may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for specific subgroups, particularly Asian students, to improve overall academic outcomes. Additionally, the school could explore best practices from the higher-performing subgroups to identify strategies that could be applied more broadly to enhance the school's performance.

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.
