Summary:

Western Union Elementary is a public elementary school in Waxhaw, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Union County Public Schools district. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, currently ranking 500th out of 1,505 North Carolina elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key factors that sets Western Union Elementary apart is its relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 67.81% White, 9.04% African American, 17.18% Hispanic, and other minority groups. This diversity is higher than some nearby schools like Rea View Elementary and Weddington Elementary, which have a higher percentage of White students. However, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 25.78% in 2020-2021 to 38.88% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of students from low-income families.

Academically, Western Union Elementary's performance has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school's performance is generally above the state average, it often lags behind the high-performing nearby schools like Rea View Elementary, Weddington Elementary, Wesley Chapel Elementary, and New Town Elementary, which consistently rank among the top-performing elementary schools in North Carolina.

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.

Although this is one of the oldest schools in Union county, the staff makes up for it through their caring ways of each student. There is smaller class sizes for more individualized attention for each student. Close Quote

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.
