Leaksville-Spray Elementary

Summary:

Leaksville-Spray Elementary is a public elementary school in Eden, North Carolina, serving 404 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 and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leaksville-Spray Elementary stands out from nearby schools like Bethany Elementary, Monroeton Elementary, and South End Elementary in several ways. It has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance is consistently lower, with test scores that fall below the district and state averages. Additionally, Leaksville-Spray Elementary has an exceptionally high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, Leaksville-Spray Elementary's academic outcomes remain a concern. While the school's Hispanic and Special Education students perform relatively well, its White and Gifted and Talented students lag behind their peers in other North Carolina elementary schools. Addressing these disparities and improving educational outcomes should be a priority for the school and the Rockingham County Schools district.

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.

Open Quote The Preschool to Prison Pipeline

Parents please do not allow your children to attend this school. The faculty are horribly rude and insensitive. If one does not have a genuine desire and passion to teach, nurture children in education; then one should not teach. Its very sad when the environment that your child should be learning becomes more like a prison to them, instead of the place that they can learn and thrive. Using children as experiments for more funding in your school will get you what you want in the moment; but have damaging effects on the future leaders of our world. Shame on you and all who are involved. Close Quote

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.
