Stewart Street Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its predominantly African American (88.22%) and economically disadvantaged student population. The school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.4% in 2019-2020 to 45.5% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average of 15.7%. Academically, the school consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with only 10% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 53%. The school's spending per student has increased, but it remains lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Havana Magnet School and Greensboro Elementary School, which also struggle with low academic performance and high poverty rates.

The analysis of Stewart Street Elementary School's data reveals a school that is facing significant challenges in meeting the needs of its students. The school's declining performance and ranking, coupled with high rates of chronic absenteeism and poverty, suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the underlying issues and provide the necessary resources and support to improve student outcomes. While the nearby schools face similar challenges, Stewart Street Elementary School consistently ranks lower and performs worse on standardized tests, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support services to help the school and its students succeed.

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.
