Landis Elementary

Summary:

Landis Elementary is a public elementary school in Landis, North Carolina, serving 589 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Rowan-Salisbury Schools district, which is ranked 212 out of 242 districts in the state.

Landis Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (24.96%) and African American (12.73%) students compared to nearby schools like Bostian Elementary (83.18% White) and Millbridge Elementary (76.68% White). Academically, the school consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in Mathematics. Landis Elementary also performs well in certain student subgroups, such as Male Students and African American Students, but struggles with the performance of White Students and English Language Learner Students.

Despite the challenges faced by its high-poverty student population, with 90-99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Landis Elementary has maintained a relatively consistent academic performance over the years. This suggests the school has effective practices in place to support its students. Interestingly, Landis Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Kannapolis City Schools district, which also serves high-poverty communities, indicating that Landis Elementary may have valuable strategies to share with other schools facing similar challenges.

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.
