Pine Hall Elementary School

Summary:

Pine Hall Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Pine Hall, North Carolina, serving 101 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly White student population, with 84.16% of students identifying as White, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.39% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Over the past several years, Pine Hall Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 560 out of 1,434 North Carolina elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,114 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state and district averages, while others have underperformed significantly. For example, the school's 3rd-grade students scored 64.7% proficient or better in Mathematics, outperforming the state average, but the 5th-grade students scored only 31.6% proficient or better, much lower than the state and district averages.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Stokes County Schools district, Pine Hall Elementary School generally underperforms on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Reading. However, the school's performance on the 5th-grade Science assessment was closer to the district and state averages, suggesting potential strengths in science education. The school's lack of racial diversity, with a much higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, may also be a factor in its performance, as research has shown that diverse learning environments can benefit student 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.
