Walter G. Byers School

Summary:

Walter G. Byers School is a public magnet elementary and middle school serving grades PK-8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a student population of 337. 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.

Walter G. Byers School faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, extremely high poverty levels, and consistently low academic performance. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. Despite higher per-student spending than the district average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be enough to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance.

Comparing Walter G. Byers School to nearby schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district highlights the disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes. Some schools, like Highland Mill Montessori and Irwin Academic Center, perform significantly better than Walter G. Byers School, while others, such as Druid Hills Academy and Bruns Avenue Elementary, have similar low academic performance and high-poverty student populations. This underscores the importance of equity and access in the education system, as the disparities within the district suggest that not all students are receiving the same level of educational opportunities.

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.
