Rosenwald Elementary

Summary:

Rosenwald Elementary is a public elementary school in Fairmont, North Carolina, serving 357 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 216 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosenwald Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina, with a statewide ranking between 1351 and 1480 out of around 1,500 schools over the past several years, and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with only 31.7% of 3rd-grade students and 25.5% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, and 14.1% of 3rd-grade students and 27.5% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in reading. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 99.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Rosenwald Elementary struggles academically, some of the nearby schools in the Public Schools of Robeson County district, such as Pembroke Elementary and Union Elementary, perform significantly better on standardized tests and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Rosenwald Elementary may be unique to the school, rather than a district-wide issue. Despite the school's low performance, there is little evidence of significant improvement over time, with Rosenwald Elementary's statewide ranking remaining consistently in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools for the past decade.

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.
