Rex-Rennert Elementary

Summary:

Rex-Rennert Elementary is a public elementary school in Shannon, North Carolina, serving 385 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 216 out of 242 districts in the state.

While the nearby schools like Oxendine Elementary, Magnolia Elementary, and Union Chapel Elementary generally perform better academically, Rex-Rennert Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has significantly lower proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science compared to state and district averages, and an extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Within the school, the performance of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and Native American students, is particularly low compared to their peers in other North Carolina elementary schools. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, reducing the student-teacher ratio, reviewing the curriculum and instructional practices, and collaborating with the community to provide additional resources and support for the students.

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.
