Summary:

Down East Middle and Smyrna Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Smyrna, North Carolina, part of the Carteret County Public Schools district. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional student achievement despite having a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Down East Middle and Smyrna Elementary's academic success is remarkable, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating its strong performance. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white, raising concerns about diversity and equity. Nearby schools like Atlantic Elementary and Harkers Island Elementary also demonstrate strong academic achievement and may offer valuable insights.

The school's small size, low student-teacher ratio, and targeted support for economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors to its success. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, teacher quality, and resource allocation could provide valuable lessons for other high-poverty schools seeking to replicate its model of academic excellence.

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.
