E O Young Junior Elementary

Summary:

E O Young Junior Elementary is a public elementary school in Henderson, North Carolina, serving 179 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.

E O Young Junior Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates on state standardized tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 8.3%, compared to 26% for the district and 48.7% for the state. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools in the Vance County Schools district, E O Young Junior Elementary continues to struggle academically.

The school's student population is predominantly African American (60.34%) and economically disadvantaged, with over 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This raises concerns about potential racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps, which may be contributing to the school's overall academic underperformance. While the nearby schools in the Vance County Schools district also struggle academically, Mariam Boyd Elementary, Dabney Elementary, and other schools in the district consistently outperform E O Young Junior Elementary, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, targeted intervention to address the root causes of the academic challenges at this school.

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.
