Bethel Elementary

Summary:

Bethel Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Sugar Grove, North Carolina, with a student population of 134. The school is part of the Watauga County Schools district, which is ranked 47 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Bethel Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.55%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, its performance on state assessments has been relatively stable but lags behind the Watauga County Schools district and the state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.38% to 52.99% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Watauga County district. Interestingly, Bethel Elementary has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 7.5 over the past few years, much lower than the nearby schools in the district.

Despite the small school size and low student-teacher ratio, Bethel Elementary does not appear to be leveraging these advantages to improve student outcomes. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Watauga County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in terms of proficiency rates on state assessments, and it generally performs worse on state assessments than other schools in the Watauga County district, such as Blowing Rock Elementary, Hardin Park Elementary, and Valle Crucis Elementary.

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.
