London Elementary School

Summary:

London Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Walnut Cove, North Carolina, serving 193 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school has a higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including lower test scores, higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and declining performance relative to other schools in the state.

London Elementary School's test scores are generally lower than the Stokes County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 47.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 63.7% and the state's 62.7%. This trend is consistent across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60% to 72.02% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Poplar Springs Elementary, Pine Hall Elementary, and Germanton Elementary, London Elementary School's performance is generally lower across various metrics, including test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that the school may be underperforming compared to its peers within the Stokes County Schools district. However, the school's ranking for gifted and talented students is relatively high, indicating that it may be effectively serving its high-achieving 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.
