New Hope Elementary

Summary:

New Hope Elementary is a public elementary school in Henderson, North Carolina, serving 118 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Vance County Schools district, which is ranked 220 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Hope Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (76.27%) and economically disadvantaged, with 97.46% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance, as measured by state standardized tests, is generally below the district and state averages. However, the school has shown some strengths, particularly in 3rd-grade mathematics and reading, where it has outperformed the Vance County Schools and North Carolina state averages in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, such as Clarke Elementary, Aycock Elementary, and L.B. Yancey Elementary, New Hope Elementary generally performs worse on state standardized tests, but it outperforms some schools, such as Carver Elementary and E.O. Young Junior Elementary, in certain grade levels and subject areas.

The higher student-teacher ratio (18.4) and higher spending per student ($13,738) at New Hope Elementary compared to nearby schools may indicate a need to further examine the allocation of resources and the effectiveness of instructional strategies to better support student learning. Continued focus on improving academic performance, particularly for male students and low socioeconomic status students, will be crucial for New Hope Elementary to make progress and better serve its 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.
