Archdale Elementary School

Summary:

Archdale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Archdale, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Randolph County School System. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the years, but it stands out for its diverse student population and strong performance in certain areas.

Archdale Elementary School has a relatively diverse student body, with a mix of White, Asian, Hispanic, and African American students. The school has consistently ranked among the top schools in North Carolina for English Language Learner (ELL) student performance and has also performed well in terms of its low-socioeconomic status (SES) student population. Additionally, the school consistently outperforms the Randolph County School System and the state of North Carolina in 5th-grade science proficiency.

While Archdale Elementary School has demonstrated strengths in certain areas, its overall academic performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 2-star rating on SchoolDigger. This decline may be attributed to the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school appears to have significant achievement gaps between different racial groups, with White students performing significantly lower than Asian students. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these trends would be valuable in developing strategies to support the school's continued improvement.

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.
