The school has shown strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates exceed the district and state averages across grades 3-5. In mathematics, the school also outperforms the district and state in grades 3 and 4, though the 5th-grade performance lags behind. However, the school has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past few years, dropping from a high of 5 stars in 2015-2016 to 2 stars in the current school year.

Summit Road Elementary's diverse student population and strong performance for its African American and English Language Learner subgroups are notable strengths. However, the school's relatively weaker performance for its Special Education and Disabled student subgroups suggests a need to review the support and resources available for these students. Comparing Summit Road Elementary's performance to nearby schools, such as French Run Elementary, Rose Hill Elementary, and Slate Ridge Elementary, could provide valuable insights to inform strategies for improvement at Summit Road 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.
