Eastlawn Elementary

Summary:

Eastlawn Elementary is a public elementary school in Burlington, North Carolina, serving 585 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, which is ranked 174 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastlawn Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.33%) compared to nearby schools like Elon Elementary (12.41%) and South Graham Elementary (44.38%). The school also consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1351 and 1473 out of 1489 to 1505 schools. Additionally, over 99% of Eastlawn Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

These challenges may contribute to Eastlawn Elementary's persistent low performance. The school's academic outcomes on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, nearby schools like Marvin B. Smith Elementary have much higher academic performance and more diverse student populations. The high student-teacher ratio at Eastlawn Elementary, ranging from 13.9 to 16 students per teacher, may also suggest a lack of funding and resources available to the school, hindering its ability to provide a high-quality education.

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.
