Aycock Elementary

Summary:

Aycock Elementary is a public elementary school in Henderson, North Carolina, serving 377 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Vance County Schools district, which is ranked 220 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Aycock Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 31.03% White, 28.91% African American, and 35.01% Hispanic students. Academically, the school generally outperforms the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade Science, where 75.4% of students were proficient or better, compared to 44.9% for the district and 66.2% for the state. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 153 out of 1,425 North Carolina elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1,016 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Aycock Elementary's high poverty rate, with over 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is consistent with the nearby schools in the area. While the school's performance is relatively strong compared to the district and state, it is not keeping pace with the improvements seen in other elementary schools across North Carolina. Some nearby schools, such as New Hope Elementary and L.B. Yancey Elementary, have shown stronger performance in certain grade levels and subject areas.

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.
