Brogden Primary

Summary:

Brogden Primary is an elementary school located in Dudley, North Carolina, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 764 students. The school is part of the Wayne County Public Schools district, which is ranked 154 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brogden Primary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (55.5%) than the surrounding schools, which range from 6.5% to 58.26% Hispanic students. Academically, Brogden Primary consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading are well below the state and district averages. Additionally, over 99% of Brogden Primary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 15.5, which is higher than the surrounding schools like Meadow Lane Elementary and Grantham Elementary.

Brogden Primary's persistent low performance, with a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, suggests that the school has struggled to improve student outcomes over an extended period. The school's unique demographic, with a much higher percentage of Hispanic students, and its significant economic challenges may be contributing factors to its academic struggles. Targeted interventions and additional support may be necessary to help Brogden Primary improve student achievement and close the gap with the surrounding schools in the Wayne County Public Schools 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.
