Summary:

Brevard Elementary is a public elementary school in Brevard, North Carolina, serving 544 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Transylvania County Schools district, which is ranked 76 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Brevard Elementary stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 73.16% White, 7.35% African American, 9.38% Hispanic, and 9.38% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While it performs above the state average in 3rd grade Mathematics and 5th grade Science, it falls below the state average in other grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for Gifted and Talented students but lower for African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Henderson County Schools district, Brevard Elementary generally has lower academic achievement and statewide rankings. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.65% to 63.97% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. These factors suggest that Brevard Elementary may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing more targeted support for its diverse student population.

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.
