M B Hubbard Elementary

Summary:

M B Hubbard Elementary is a public elementary school in Battleboro, North Carolina, serving 407 students in grades K-5 as part of the Nash County Public Schools district.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, M B Hubbard Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, with only 35-55% of students meeting proficiency standards in mathematics, reading, and science. The school's student population is predominantly African American (around 70%) and has a very high percentage (over 85%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. These challenges have contributed to the school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools for the past decade.

In contrast, some nearby schools, such as Nashville Elementary and Red Oak Elementary, have higher academic performance and better SchoolDigger ratings. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving M B Hubbard Elementary and addressing the persistent racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps.

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.
