Grifton

Summary:

Grifton is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Grifton, North Carolina, with a student population of 391. The school faces significant challenges, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grifton's low academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the Pitt County and North Carolina averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, Grifton's Hispanic students perform significantly better than its African American and White students, ranking in the top 37% of North Carolina elementary schools in math, while the other groups rank in the bottom 30%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Chicod, W.H. Robinson Elementary, and Creekside Elementary, Grifton's academic performance is significantly lower, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points below these higher-performing schools. These nearby schools also have lower poverty rates and more diverse student populations. Despite Grifton's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, these factors have not translated into better academic outcomes, suggesting that additional resources and support may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population.

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.
