Havelock Elementary

Summary:

Havelock Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Havelock, North Carolina, which is part of the Craven County Board of Education district. With a diverse student population, Havelock Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, over 98% in recent years.

Academically, Havelock Elementary's test scores lag behind the district and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 45.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 62.1% for the district and 62.7% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for White students, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Brinson Memorial Elementary and other nearby schools in this subgroup. However, Havelock Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10:1 to 11.6:1 in recent years, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized instruction and support.

Havelock Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated considerably over the years, from as high as 594 to as low as 1,044 out of over 1,500 North Carolina elementary schools, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school's performance is somewhat unstable and inconsistent, and addressing the significant socioeconomic challenges and persistent achievement gaps between racial subgroups should be a priority for the school and district.

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.
