Davenport A+ School has a diverse student population, with 38.58% White, 15.52% African American, 35.78% Hispanic, and 9.48% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the Caldwell County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Davenport A+ School's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 44.3%, compared to the district's 61.1% and the state's 62.7%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing better than African American and White students.

Davenport A+ School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 81.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Baton Elementary, Lower Creek Elementary, and Hudson Elementary. These nearby schools, which have a higher percentage of White students, tend to outperform Davenport A+ School across various subject areas and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, suggesting the need for comprehensive strategies to improve its academic performance and overall competitiveness.

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.
