Pasquotank Elementary

Summary:

Pasquotank Elementary is a public elementary school in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, serving 270 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families, and faces significant academic challenges compared to other schools in the Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools district.

Pasquotank Elementary's academic performance, as measured by state standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, particularly in reading. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools and has a low 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively stronger performance for African American and Hispanic students compared to White students and students with disabilities.

Interestingly, Pasquotank Elementary's academic performance is lower than that of nearby schools in the district, such as Weeksville Elementary, which has significantly higher test scores and a much higher statewide ranking. Additionally, while Pasquotank Elementary has higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the district average, these factors do not appear to have a significant impact on the school's academic outcomes, which are likely influenced by the high poverty rate of its student population.

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.
