Charles England Elementary School

Summary:

Charles England Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, North Carolina, serving 336 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Lexington City Schools district, which is ranked 201 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Charles England Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (38.99%) and Hispanic (33.04%) students compared to the state average. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Student proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 34.4% of 5th-grade students proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 50.3%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the nearby schools in the Davidson County Schools district generally outperform Charles England Elementary across a range of metrics, including overall school ranking, student achievement, and student-teacher ratios. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as district-level resources and support, may be contributing to the performance differences. The consistently low performance of Charles England Elementary, coupled with the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicates that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
