Reedy Creek Elementary

Summary:

Reedy Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 1,007 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Reedy Creek Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 52.63% African American, 30.59% Hispanic, and 7.75% White. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Reedy Creek's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 47.5%, compared to 61.8% for the district and 62.7% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for African American students and English Language Learners, but lower rankings for Gifted and Talented students.

Reedy Creek Elementary's unique challenges are further highlighted by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.96% in 2021-2022 to 54.42% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Devonshire Elementary, United Community School, and Hickory Ridge Elementary, which have free and reduced lunch rates above 90%. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 607 out of 1,473 North Carolina elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 976 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, suggests that the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state.

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.

Open Quote My daughter went to kindergarten there this year. She loved her teacher and the principal. The teachers are really friendly and caring. Even the teachers that don't have her say hi to her every morning. The principal takes a real hands-on approach with the kids and they love her. I don't ever remember going to school and really knowing the principal, but all the kids at this school do. This is a pretty big school, but it feels homey. Close Quote

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.
