Academically, the school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages.

Additionally, Mattamuskeet School has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with over 97% of students qualifying for this program in the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's challenges, it spends a relatively high amount per student, with a reported spending of $17,035 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. Additionally, Mattamuskeet School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 10.5 students per teacher over the past three years. These resources suggest that the school may have the potential to implement targeted interventions and support programs to improve student outcomes, which could be a valuable area of focus for the school and the district.

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.
