Spindale Elementary School

Summary:

Spindale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Spindale, North Carolina, part of the Rutherford County Schools district. The school has seen a shift in its student racial makeup, with a decrease in White students and an increase in African American students over the past few years.

Spindale Elementary faces several key challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the Rutherford County Schools district and North Carolina averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but White students struggling. Additionally, Spindale Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage.

Spindale Elementary's academic performance lags behind many nearby elementary schools in the Rutherford County district, such as Cliffside Elementary, Ellenboro Elementary, and Sunshine Elementary, which have consistently higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The significant disparities in performance between Spindale Elementary's African American and White student subgroups suggest the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
