Colerain Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (80.47%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. While the school has shown strong performance in mathematics, with 3rd and 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state averages, its reading proficiency lags behind, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, the school's science proficiency for 5th graders is above the district average but slightly below the state average. Colerain Elementary also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 98% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 55% to 99% range of nearby schools like Buckland Elementary, T.S. Cooper Elementary, and Windsor Elementary.

Despite these challenges, Colerain Elementary has demonstrated pockets of success, such as its strong mathematics performance. By building on these strengths and addressing the school's weaknesses, with the support of the Bertie County Schools district, Colerain Elementary has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
