Harvey R Newlin Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic (44.38%) and African American (36.24%) students, compared to nearby schools like Alexander Wilson Elementary, which has a majority White student population. Academically, Harvey R Newlin consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina, with proficiency rates significantly lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.9% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in reading, compared to 44% for the district and 48.7% for the state.

The school's student population also faces significant economic challenges, with over 99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a much higher rate than the nearby schools. Despite the high level of need, the per-student spending and student-teacher ratio at Harvey R Newlin are comparable to the surrounding schools. These persistent academic and socioeconomic disparities suggest that addressing the unique challenges faced by the students at Harvey R Newlin Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the specific needs of the community it serves.

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.
