Summary:

Zeb Vance Elementary is a public elementary school in Kittrell, North Carolina, serving 333 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.

Zeb Vance Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (55.86%) and Hispanic (18.32%) students compared to the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 50% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 62.7% and the Vance County Schools average of 40.2%. The nearby Tar River Elementary and C.G. Credle Elementary, which are in the Granville County Schools district, have higher academic performance with proficiency rates closer to or above the state averages.

Zeb Vance Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The nearby Vance County schools also have similarly high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, while Tar River Elementary in the Granville County district has a much lower percentage (59.82%). This suggests that the academic challenges faced by Zeb Vance Elementary and other Vance County schools may be closely tied to the socioeconomic factors of their student populations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address these unique challenges.

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.
