E M Rollins Elementary

Summary:

E M Rollins Elementary is a public elementary school in Henderson, North Carolina, serving 322 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.

E M Rollins Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (79.19%) and economically disadvantaged, with over 97% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student of $12,676 suggest that factors beyond just resources may be contributing to the poor outcomes.

Interestingly, some nearby schools within the Vance County Schools district, such as New Hope Elementary and Aycock Elementary, perform significantly better on state assessments and have higher rankings, indicating that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the poor performance of E M Rollins Elementary. Additionally, the school's ranking for African American students is significantly higher than its overall ranking, suggesting that it is able to better serve this subgroup compared to other student groups.

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.
