Summary:

Malpass Corner Elementary is a public elementary school located in Burgaw, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of around 480. The school is part of the Pender County Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malpass Corner Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. The school has a higher percentage of minority students compared to the state average, with a student body that is 37.5% White, 29.38% African American, and 26.46% Hispanic. Academically, Malpass Corner Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are significantly lower than the state and district averages, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and special education students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's high spending per student and relatively small class sizes, Malpass Corner Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking or academic proficiency rates over the past decade.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Pender County district, such as Rocky Point Elementary and Cape Fear Elementary, generally outperform Malpass Corner Elementary in academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. Additionally, the nearby Classical Charter Schools of Leland, a public charter school, significantly outperforms Malpass Corner Elementary and the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels, highlighting the potential impact of alternative educational models and approaches on 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.
