Mariam Boyd Elementary

Summary:

Mariam Boyd Elementary is a public elementary school in Warrenton, North Carolina, serving 341 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Warren County Schools district, which is ranked 208 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mariam Boyd Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (around 72-74%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Vaughan Elementary. The school also consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina, scoring between 1,400-1,500 out of around 1,500 schools on state tests. This low academic performance is coupled with an extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's challenges, it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 18.6 students per teacher in recent years. However, this has not translated to improved student outcomes, as Mariam Boyd Elementary has struggled to effectively educate its predominantly African American, high-poverty student population. The school's persistent low performance and lack of progress suggest that addressing the root causes of these issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach from the Warren County Schools district and the local community.

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.
