Summary:

Bailey Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bailey, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 538. The school is part of the Nash County Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bailey Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (40.15%) compared to the state average. The school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from a 1-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024. Bailey Elementary's performance in mathematics and reading is generally higher than the Nash County Public Schools and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages. Bailey Elementary's African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) student groups have performed well, with higher rankings compared to other schools in the state.

While Bailey Elementary outperforms the nearby Spring Hope Elementary and Middlesex Elementary schools in academic metrics, some nearby schools, such as Lucama Elementary and New Hope Elementary (both in the Wilson County Schools district), have significantly higher academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. However, Bailey Elementary's strong performance in supporting the achievement of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student populations is noteworthy, and the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic success.

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.
