P W Moore Elementary

Summary:

P W Moore Elementary is a public elementary school in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, serving 353 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools district, which is ranked 123 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

P W Moore Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to the state and district averages. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (61.19%) than nearby schools, which range from 3.96% to 55.75% African American. Additionally, over 97% of P W Moore's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from 1261 out of 1,440 schools in 2013-2014 to 790 out of 1,505 schools in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, several nearby schools, such as Weeksville Elementary, Grandy Primary, and Camden Intermediate, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to P W Moore Elementary, despite being in the same or neighboring Camden County Schools and Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools districts. This suggests that P W Moore Elementary may be facing unique challenges in terms of funding and access to resources to support student learning.

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.
