Surry Online Magnet School

Summary:

Surry Online Magnet School is a small, alternative public virtual school in Dobson, North Carolina, serving grades K-12 with a student population of 84. The school has a predominantly White student body, with 90.48% of students identifying as White.

Surry Online Magnet School has shown mixed academic performance, excelling in certain subject areas like 8th grade science (90% proficient or better) and English II (81.8% proficient or better), but struggling in others, particularly in mathematics, where 7th and 8th grade proficiency rates were only 30%. The school serves a population with higher socioeconomic needs, with 33.7% to 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years. Compared to nearby Yadkin Success Academy (9.6:1 student-teacher ratio) and Millennium Charter Academy (14.4:1), Surry Online Magnet School's current ratio of 16:1 is higher, but lower than Yadkin Success Academy.

Despite the school's mixed performance, there are opportunities for improvement. By focusing on areas of weakness, such as mathematics, and leveraging its strengths in subjects like science and English, Surry Online Magnet School could potentially enhance its overall academic outcomes and better serve its student population. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests the need to address the unique challenges faced by its socioeconomically disadvantaged 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.
