While James W Smith Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 41.23% White, 31.87% African American, 17.84% Hispanic, and 8.77% two or more races, the school has consistently underperformed on standardized tests compared to state and district averages.

The school's performance also varies widely across different student subgroups, with African American and low-socioeconomic status students struggling the most.

Despite having a higher per-student spending of $12,531 and a higher student-teacher ratio of 16.1 compared to nearby schools, James W Smith Elementary has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 334 out of 1,434 North Carolina elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 962 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests the need for the school and district to closely examine their instructional practices and resource allocation, as well as collaborate with higher-performing nearby schools like Chicod and Trenton Elementary to identify and implement effective strategies for improving student outcomes.

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.
