Silverdale Elementary

Summary:

Silverdale Elementary is a public elementary school in Maysville, North Carolina, serving 611 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading lagging behind both the Onslow County Schools district and the state of North Carolina. However, the school has shown strengths in certain areas, such as its Gifted and Talented program and the performance of specific student subgroups.

Silverdale Elementary's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test proficiency rates, has been lower than nearby schools like Carolina Forest Elementary, Swansboro Elementary, and Morton Elementary, all of which are part of the Onslow County Schools district. However, the school's performance is stronger than that of Jacksonville Commons Elementary, another Onslow County school. Compared to schools outside the Onslow County district, such as White Oak Elementary (Carteret County) and Maysville Elementary (Jones County), Silverdale Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with some areas where it performs better and others where it lags behind.

One of Silverdale Elementary's strengths is its Gifted and Talented program, which has ranked highly among North Carolina elementary schools. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, has been relatively stronger compared to the overall school ranking. This suggests that the school may be providing effective support and resources for these specific student populations.

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 Teachers have been good but the principal is the worst. She doesn't listen to anyone and the kids have no idea who she is b/c she is never around. Horrible administration, and this has been conveyed to me by teachers and other parents as well. Several teacher have told me they don't report incidents to her because she will not do anything about it. This school likes to brush issues under the rug, or should I say the principal. I have been lucky to have pretty good teachers at the school but if my kids were not excelling at this school I would be worried. 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.
