Summary:

Forest City-Dunbar Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Forest City, North Carolina, part of the Rutherford County Schools district.

Forest City-Dunbar Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently exceeding state and district averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across grades 3-5. The school's diverse student population, with high percentages of African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is a particular strength, as these subgroups rank among the top 100 elementary schools in North Carolina. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 13.9 students per teacher, also contributes to its success.

While Forest City-Dunbar Elementary School outperforms the state and district, nearby schools like Harris Elementary and Cliffside Elementary within the Rutherford County Schools district, as well as Springmore Elementary in the neighboring Cleveland County Schools district, also demonstrate strong academic performance. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Forest City-Dunbar Elementary School, over 99%, suggests the school is serving a predominantly low-income population, which may present unique challenges and opportunities.

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.
