Milton M Daniels Learning Center

Summary:

Milton M Daniels Learning Center is an alternative public school in Wilson, North Carolina, serving grades 3-12 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school stands out from nearby schools in several key ways, including its significantly higher percentage of African American students, consistently lower standardized test scores, and extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to the surrounding Wilson County Schools district and the state average, Milton M Daniels Learning Center underperforms academically, with its 6th grade math proficiency rate at just 13.3% compared to 52.7% for the district and 54.3% for the state. This suggests the school may be serving a particularly challenging student population, with over 95% of its students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite the school's higher spending per student of $14,459, which is above the state average, the data indicates that these additional resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.

The unique challenges faced by Milton M Daniels Learning Center highlight the importance of targeted interventions and support systems to address the specific needs of its student population. This may include specialized academic programs, social-emotional support, and community partnerships to provide a more holistic approach to student success. By addressing these factors, the school can work towards ensuring that all of its students have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their economic or social circumstances.

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.
