Belmont Elementary School

Summary:

Belmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, serving 595 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower performance on state assessments compared to the Roanoke Rapids City Schools district and the state average.

Belmont Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White (54.79%) and African American (29.41%) students than the state average. However, the school's academic performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students performing significantly worse than their peers. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was just 43%, compared to the district's 56.4% and the state's 62.7%. This highlights the need for more equitable and inclusive educational practices to address the disparities in student outcomes.

While Belmont Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools, such as Manning Elementary School and Gaston STEM Leadership Academy, perform significantly better on state assessments and have higher school rankings. Additionally, Belmont Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, exceeding 95% in recent years, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and underscores the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the 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.
