South End Elementary

Summary:

South End Elementary is a public elementary school in Reidsville, North Carolina, serving 449 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Rockingham County Schools district.

While South End Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American (45.43%) and Hispanic (13.59%) students compared to nearby schools, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly lower than the state and district averages, as well as the nearby schools like Bethany Elementary and Northern Guilford Elementary, which have higher rankings and ratings. Additionally, South End Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The combination of a high-poverty student population, declining performance over time, and significant racial disparities in achievement suggests that South End Elementary may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach focused on improving academic outcomes, supporting the needs of the student population, and ensuring the school has the resources and leadership necessary to drive sustainable improvement.

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.
