East Bend Elementary

Summary:

East Bend Elementary is a public elementary school serving 208 students in grades PK-5 in the rural town of East Bend, North Carolina, which is part of the Yadkin County Schools district.

East Bend Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in Math, Reading, and Science on standardized tests. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, East Bend Elementary has shown particularly strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as disabled students and those from low-income families, ranking among the top schools in the state for these populations. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting its performance may be variable compared to other schools.

When compared to nearby schools, East Bend Elementary generally outperforms the Yadkin County Schools district average but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County and Surry County districts, such as Lewisville Elementary, Shoals Elementary, and Vienna Elementary. Additionally, the racial makeup of East Bend Elementary is notably different from some of the more diverse nearby schools, such as Old Town Elementary and Old Richmond Elementary.

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.
