Ballentine Elementary

Summary:

Ballentine Elementary is a public elementary school in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, serving 679 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the Wake County Schools district, Ballentine consistently ranks among the top 15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science.

Ballentine Elementary's students excel on state standardized tests, with 5th-graders achieving an 85.1% proficiency rate in science, far surpassing the state and district averages. However, the school faces equity concerns, as its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform below their peers. Ballentine's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, combined with its higher per-student spending and lower student-to-teacher ratio, suggest the school benefits from a strong resource base and an affluent student population, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools in the Wake County Schools district, Ballentine Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outperforming its peers on state assessments. Schools like Holly Ridge Elementary and Willow Springs Elementary also demonstrate exceptional academic performance, indicating a strong educational system within the district. Addressing the equity gaps and ensuring equitable access to resources across the district will be crucial for the continued success of Ballentine Elementary and the broader Wake County Schools system.

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.

Leadership is terrible. No sense of moral or community. My child is not receiving the same education as she did at another school before being rezoned. WCPSS needs to look into the reasons why #'s are so low and why so many families chose to go elsewhere. Close Quote

We are pulling our child out of this school after a year of horror. We are also seeking legal consultation after our child was ostracized, out-casted and labeled by a first grade teacher who needs to lose all rights of teaching. Many people in the community will learn more about the experience we had. We are parents who will fight for not only our child but, to ensure this does not happen to another child. We wish we would have never trusted this school with our child. Horrible school, cliquish parents and racist administration. The superintendent and school board are aware...... Close Quote

Military like atmosphere is accurate. Not a good place for school aged children. Very unimpressed with the principal. It is time for the board to make some changes. Close Quote

teachers bully the children and antagonize them to act out. one case told students that if they couldnt learn something they were mentally disabled. THe bullying form teachers and lack of concern or action from admin shows in thier falling test scores, and lack of registrations. In an overcrowded system, this school actually had a track taken away! after speaking to other parents, found one moved her children due to test score manipulations and unproffesional behavior.

The principal is the main reason this school's enrollment has declined since she was hired. It has been like a mass exodus. She just does not seem to care about anything the parents have to say. She does a fabulous job of protecting a select few teachers to the point of it being almost criminal what they get away with. Those of us in this community with similar aged children, just give up with her and are and have moved our kids elsewhere. This principal and her 'gang' of favored teachers are like a brick wall. You will NOT be heard and your certainly will be dismissed very bluntly. No emotion. Like a robot. Close Quote

I am not sure what the other reviewer is talking about. I have found the teachers to be very helpful, upbeat and compassionate. It is a small school, so we don't have all the resources other schools have, but the teachers seem to collaborate often to find the best solutions to problems. Issues around testing and conforming are a problem that can only be addressed by changing the county's obsession with rankings and results, I don't think that is a principal mandate. Close Quote

Principal does not allow teachers to think outside the box. It is her way or no way. School is run like a military base instead of an elementary school. You rarely ever see teachers smiling. Very gloomy place to be. 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.
