Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School

Summary:

Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School is an alternative public charter school in Hollister, North Carolina, serving grades K-12 with a majority Native American student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to state averages.

Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School has a unique student composition, with over 60% of its students identifying as Native American, in contrast to the nearby Rocky Mount Preparatory school, which has a majority African American student population. Despite this difference, both schools struggle with academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Reading. Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School's proficiency rates in these subjects have been significantly lower than the state averages, with some grades performing as low as 10% proficient.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School, consistently over 97% in recent years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 12.9 in the past three school years, indicates a more personalized learning environment that could be leveraged to provide targeted support and interventions for students. Addressing the unique needs of this student population and implementing effective strategies to improve their educational outcomes will be crucial for the success of Rocky Mount Preparatory school.

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.
