North Elementary School

Summary:

North Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elkins, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 214. The school is part of the Randolph County Schools district, which is ranked 54 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.33%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Union Elementary School and George Ward Elementary School. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with some strong results in certain grade levels and subjects, but also struggles in areas like 5th grade math and science. Student subgroup performance has varied, with the school performing well for Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status, but struggling with the performance of African American students and students with special needs.

North Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 138th out of 380 schools in 2020-2021 to 321st out of 368 schools in 2022-2023, with a current rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This decline in academic performance is concerning and suggests the need for the school and the Randolph County Schools district to implement targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation.

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.
