Douglass Elementary

Summary:

Douglass Elementary is a public elementary school in Eden, North Carolina, serving 363 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Rockingham County Schools district, which is ranked 160 out of 242 districts in the state.

Douglass Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 51.24% White, 27.55% African American, 12.12% Hispanic, and 8.82% two or more races. This diversity is higher than the nearby schools, such as Monroeton Elementary and John W Dillard Academy, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with the school outperforming the district and state in some areas but underperforming in others, suggesting the need for more consistent and equitable instructional practices.

Douglass Elementary also stands out for its high concentration of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools. This suggests the school may face unique challenges in addressing the academic and social-emotional needs of its students, which could require additional resources, targeted interventions, and community partnerships to support student success. The school's performance on subgroup rankings also highlights the need to address achievement gaps within the school, particularly for female and White students.

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.
