Lawsonville Elementary School

Summary:

Lawsonville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lawsonville, North Carolina, serving 118 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Stokes County Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Lawsonville Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (94.92%) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Pine Hall Elementary School and Westfield Elementary. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 44.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 63.7% for the district and 62.7% for the state. Lawsonville Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 445 out of 1,425 North Carolina elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1,034 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom third of elementary schools in the state.

The school's performance also varies among different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (48.31% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to its academic challenges. When compared to other nearby schools in the Stokes County Schools district, Lawsonville Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in math, reading, and science. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student learning outcomes.

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.
