Baskerville Elementary

Summary:

Baskerville Elementary is a public elementary school in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, serving 312 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Nash County Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baskerville Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina, with only 17% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics and just 11.3% of 3rd-grade students meeting or exceeding reading proficiency standards in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly below the state and district averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 97% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools like Red Oak Elementary (59.46%) and Englewood Elementary (74.06%).

Despite Baskerville's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20 students per teacher, the school has struggled to improve student outcomes for over a decade, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state. This raises questions about the equity of educational opportunities and resources available to the predominantly African American and low-income student population at Baskerville compared to their peers in the surrounding area. Addressing the persistent low performance and significant socioeconomic and racial disparities at Baskerville will be a critical priority for the Nash County Public Schools district and the local community.

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.
