Dilworth Elementary School Latta Campus

Summary:

Dilworth Elementary School Latta Campus is a high-performing public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Charlotte, North Carolina. With consistently strong academic achievement and a diverse student population, Dilworth Elementary is one of the top-ranked schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district and the state of North Carolina.

Dilworth Elementary's academic performance is truly exceptional, with 88.3% of 3rd graders, 89.4% of 4th graders, and 88% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, far exceeding the state averages. The school also excels in Reading, with 77.7% of 3rd graders, 89.4% of 4th graders, and 80% of 5th graders proficient or better. This consistent high performance has earned Dilworth Elementary a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it among the top 100 elementary schools in the state. The school's diverse student population, with 67.01% White, 16.49% African American, and 11% Hispanic students, is also noteworthy, as it is more representative of the broader community than some of the nearby schools, such as Elizabeth Traditional Elementary and Marie G Davis School.

Another key factor that sets Dilworth Elementary apart is its relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 16-21% over the past few years, compared to the higher concentrations of economically disadvantaged students in nearby schools. This suggests that Dilworth Elementary may be serving a more affluent student population, which could impact the resources and support available to students. However, the school's exceptional performance across different student subgroups, including ranking in the top 10 in the state for White students and Special Education students, and in the top 300 for African American and Hispanic students, is a testament to the school's ability to deliver high-quality education to all its students, regardless of their background.

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.
