Southwestern Randolph Middle School

Summary:

Southwestern Randolph Middle School is a public middle school in Asheboro, North Carolina, serving 465 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Randolph County School System. While the school outperforms the district average, it lags behind the state in academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and has a unique student demographic compared to nearby schools.

Southwestern Randolph Middle School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (28.39%) and a lower percentage of White students (66.67%) compared to surrounding schools. This diversity may contribute to the school's relatively strong performance for Hispanic students, who rank 154 out of 553 North Carolina middle schools, but weaker performance for White students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom quartile. The school's mathematics proficiency rates, ranging from 39.8% in 8th grade to 59.6% in 6th grade, are lower than the state averages, indicating a need to strengthen the mathematics curriculum and instruction.

Compared to nearby schools like Northeastern Randolph Middle School and Wheatmore Middle School, Southwestern Randolph Middle School generally lags behind in academic performance and statewide rankings. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.71% to 62.58% over the past three school years, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Addressing the achievement gap, strengthening the mathematics curriculum, and supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be important areas of focus for the school's improvement efforts.

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.
