Northeast Elementary

Summary:

Northeast Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pikeville, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 707 students. The school is part of the Wayne County Public Schools district, which is ranked 154 out of 242 districts in the state.

While Northeast Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from a high of 373 out of 1,489 North Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 944 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, the school has some notable strengths. It outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades, with proficiency rates of 63.6% and 61.2% respectively in 2023-2024, compared to 62.7% and 56.6% for the state. However, the school's performance on state assessments in reading and science generally lags behind the state and district averages. Additionally, Northeast Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school struggling with the performance of White, African American, and multi-racial students, while performing relatively well for Hispanic students.

The school faces significant challenges due to its high poverty level, with over 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This, coupled with slightly lower per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state, suggests that Northeast Elementary may need additional resources and support to address the needs of its diverse student population. Exploring ways to leverage community partnerships and implement targeted interventions could be crucial for improving academic outcomes, particularly for the school's underperforming subgroups. Despite these challenges, Northeast Elementary's strengths in mathematics provide a foundation for potential improvements across other subject areas.

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.
