Rosewood Elementary

Summary:

Rosewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Goldsboro, North Carolina, serving 633 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Rosewood Elementary stands out for its unique racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (59.08%) compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school generally performs better than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, with 63.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better on EOG tests, compared to 59.8% for the district and 62.7% for the state. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with multi-racial students excelling but African American, Hispanic, and disabled students performing lower than the state average. Additionally, Rosewood Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges for the student population.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Meadow Lane Elementary and Grantham Elementary, Rosewood Elementary generally performs better academically, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 516th out of 1,390 North Carolina elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 777th out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. This, combined with the significant achievement gaps among student subgroups, indicates that Rosewood Elementary may need to focus on addressing these challenges and providing targeted support to ensure all students succeed.

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.
