Millingport Elementary

Summary:

Millingport Elementary is a public elementary school in Albemarle, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Stanly County Schools district.

Millingport Elementary has consistently outperformed the Stanly County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic measures, particularly in mathematics and science. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 68.6% of 3rd graders, 80% of 4th graders, and 80% of 5th graders proficient or better in EOG/Mathematics, compared to 63.8% and 62.7% for the district and state, respectively. Additionally, 90% of 5th graders at Millingport Elementary were proficient or better in EOG/Science, compared to 69.6% and 66.2% for the district and state. The school has also ranked highly in the state for its performance with specific student subgroups, such as female students and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite having a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 98.45% in the 2022-2023 school year, Millingport Elementary has consistently outperformed nearby schools like Aquadale Elementary, Oakboro Choice STEM, and Locust Elementary, which have similarly high percentages of low-income students. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.8 to 15.1 over the past three school years, may contribute to its academic success, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for 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.
