Roger Bell New Technical Academy

Summary:

Roger Bell New Technical Academy is an elementary school in Havelock, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Craven County Board of Education district. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that has fluctuated in recent years.

While Roger Bell New Technical Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with below-average performance on state assessments in mathematics and reading, the school has performed relatively better in science. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's relatively small class sizes and strong performance for African American students suggest potential opportunities to improve academic outcomes for other subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities.

Schools like Brinson Memorial Elementary, Creekside Elementary, and Morehead Elementary at Camp Glenn have consistently outperformed Roger Bell New Technical Academy on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings.

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.

Open Quote Roger Bell has proven to be an unexpected surprise. I found the staff to be one who welcomed us from the moment we walked into the building. My children's teachers have all been willing to tailor my students instruction to meet them where they are. Everyone has maintained contact with me through weekly updates and daily messenger accounts. I am quite pleased with their determination and the progress my children have made in the time we have been here. Close Quote

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.
