Page Street Elementary

Summary:

Page Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Troy, North Carolina, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 227 students. The school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and a declining enrollment with shifting racial demographics.

Page Street Elementary has a diverse student population, with 44.49% White, 21.15% African American, and 24.67% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the Montgomery County Schools district and state averages. For example, the school's mathematics proficiency rates range from 39.5% (3rd grade) to 50.6% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 62.7% (3rd grade) to 58.1% (5th grade). The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.53% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, such as East Albemarle Elementary, Badin Elementary, and Mount Gilead Elementary, Page Street Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is lower than some of the nearby schools, which could be a potential strength. Overall, the school's consistent low ranking among Montgomery County Schools and North Carolina elementary schools suggests the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies to support its diverse student population.

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.
