Wentworth Elementary

Summary:

Wentworth Elementary is a public elementary school in Reidsville, North Carolina, serving 499 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.

Wentworth Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, where it consistently outperforms the district and state averages. However, the school's Reading scores are generally lower than the district and state. Interestingly, Wentworth's female students rank in the top 35% of North Carolina elementary schools, while the male students rank in the bottom 33%. The school's African American and Disabled student subgroups also perform well, ranking in the top 50% of the state, but the White student subgroup ranks in the bottom 25%.

Despite its academic strengths, Wentworth Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, from 313 out of 1,473 schools in 2018-2019 to 716 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. The school also faces challenges with a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate. Comparing Wentworth to nearby schools, such as Bethany Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, which have higher overall rankings and stronger performance in certain areas, could provide valuable insights for Wentworth to improve and address its disparities in student achievement.

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.
