King Elementary School

Summary:

King Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in King, North Carolina, which is part of the Stokes County Schools district. With a declining racial diversity and an increasing percentage of white students, King Elementary has seen some notable trends in recent years.

Academically, King Elementary consistently outperforms the Stokes County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. However, the school's reading performance is more mixed, with 3rd and 4th grade reading proficiency below the district and state averages, but 5th grade reading proficiency slightly above. Interestingly, the school's 5th grade science proficiency is also above the district and state averages. When looking at student subgroups, male students at King Elementary outperform female students, while white students, students with disabilities, and gifted/talented students perform below the state average.

Despite the school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 49.74% in 2021-2022 to 69.19% in 2022-2023, low-socioeconomic status students at King Elementary perform better than the state average. When compared to other elementary schools in the Stokes County Schools district and the neighboring Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, King Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics. However, some nearby schools, such as Old Richmond Elementary, demonstrate even stronger academic performance across multiple subject areas.

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.
