Mint Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Mint Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Matthews, North Carolina, serving 530 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mint Hill Elementary has a diverse student population, with 31.51% White, 28.68% African American, and 28.11% Hispanic students. 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 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and North Carolina averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, Mint Hill Elementary had a 50% proficiency rate, compared to 61.8% for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and 62.7% for North Carolina. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Mint Hill Elementary ranking 530 out of 924 North Carolina elementary schools for African American students, 811 out of 951 for Hispanic students, and 765 out of 801 for special education students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Matthews Elementary and Bain Elementary, which are ranked much higher in the state (267 and 133, respectively, out of 1,505 North Carolina elementary schools), Mint Hill Elementary's academic performance is generally lower. The high percentage of students (50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Mint Hill Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. These challenges suggest that Mint Hill Elementary may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its diverse student population and implementing effective strategies to improve student learning and achievement.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Mint Hill Elementary School

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2023	530	39.1	13.5	50

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
