Stantonsburg Elementary

Summary:

Stantonsburg Elementary is a public elementary school in Stantonsburg, North Carolina, serving 186 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Wilson County Schools district, which is ranked 88 out of 242 districts in the state.

Stantonsburg Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (37.1%) and African American (36.56%) students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency (56%) was significantly lower than the district (68.8%) and state (62.7%) averages. Additionally, Stantonsburg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 845 and 1198 out of 1,505 schools over the past 10 years.

One of the most notable factors about Stantonsburg Elementary is its exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.08% to 98.39% over the past three school years. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. When compared to nearby schools in the Wilson County Schools district, such as Gardners Elementary, Stantonsburg Elementary generally underperforms academically.

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.
