Trinity Elementary School

Summary:

Trinity Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 424 students in grades K-5 in Trinity, North Carolina. It is part of the Randolph County School System, which is ranked 165 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Trinity Elementary has seen an increase in diversity in recent years, its academic performance has been on a concerning downward trend. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 408 out of 1,473 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,258 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, and its proficiency rates in math, reading, and science are consistently lower than the Randolph County School System and North Carolina state averages. This decline in academic performance is particularly troubling given that Trinity Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023 - significantly higher than the nearby Hopewell Elementary (50.22%) and John R. Lawrence Elementary (52.27%).

Despite its challenges, Trinity Elementary does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 in 2020-2021 to 14.6 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Randolph County School System. However, this advantage does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as instructional quality and targeted interventions, may need to be addressed to help improve student performance at Trinity Elementary.

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.
