Summary:
The city of Grifton, North Carolina is home to a single school, Grifton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 391 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by state standardized test scores, has consistently fallen below the Pitt County Schools district average and the North Carolina state average across most grade levels and subject areas.
Grifton Elementary School's student population is diverse, with 41.18% African American, 26.6% Hispanic, and 27.62% White students. However, the school has a high percentage of students (99.23%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student body. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, its academic performance has been consistently poor, with its statewide ranking among North Carolina elementary schools declining over the past few years.
The consistently low academic performance and high poverty level of Grifton Elementary School suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and achievement. While the available data on per-student spending and staffing levels indicates that the school may have adequate resources, the consistently poor academic outcomes indicate that the school may need to take a more targeted approach to addressing the unique challenges faced by its student population.
