Underwood Elementary

Summary:

Underwood Elementary is a high-performing public magnet elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving 381 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the Wake County Schools district, Underwood consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students demonstrating exceptional proficiency on standardized tests.

Underwood's academic excellence is evident in its consistent top rankings, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points higher than state and district averages in subjects like mathematics and reading. The school's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 59.58% White, 15.49% African American, 15.75% Hispanic, and 5.25% Asian, is a strength that reflects the broader community. Additionally, Underwood's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 11.9 students per teacher, and relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest the school may have access to more resources and smaller class sizes compared to nearby schools like Root Elementary and Olds Elementary.

While Underwood's overall performance is exceptional, the school's leadership may want to explore potential achievement gaps for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students, to ensure equitable outcomes for all learners. By continuing to address these areas and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, Underwood Elementary can further strengthen its position as a leading educational institution in the Raleigh area.

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.

Underwood is a dynamic school and has given my daughter the opportunity to explore her interests as well as try other areas within the arts and academic realms through the Gifted and Talented elective model with electives. The small size of the school brings a true "family" feel with dedicated teachers who know the names of all students in the school and a very involved parent population (PTA and Foundation). Underwood also has supports in place for students and their social development with Conscious Discipline. Teachers are responsive to student needs and encourage collaboration, creative, critical thinking and technology into their lessons. 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.
