North Forest Pines Elementary

Summary:

North Forest Pines Elementary is a public elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Wake County Schools district.

The school has seen a shift in its student population, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in Hispanic students. Academically, North Forest Pines Elementary generally performs on par with or slightly below the Wake County Schools and North Carolina state averages, with some notable exceptions. For example, the school's 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate (67.5%) was slightly below the Wake County Schools average (69.3%) but above the state average (62.7%). However, the school is surrounded by several other high-performing elementary schools in the Wake County Schools district, such as Abbotts Creek Elementary, Richland Creek Elementary, and Heritage Elementary, which generally outperform North Forest Pines Elementary on state assessments.

The school's diverse student population and the varying performance of different subgroups, such as the gap between female and male students, as well as the lower performance of Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income students, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students should be a priority for the school and the district.

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.
