Yadkin Success Academy

Summary:

Yadkin Success Academy is an alternative public school in Yadkinville, North Carolina, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of just 46 students. This small school is part of the Yadkin County Schools district, which is ranked 126 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Yadkin Success Academy stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of White students (69.57%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Boonville Elementary. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 18.8% of students proficient or better in English II, compared to 55.3% for Yadkin County Schools and 59.7% for North Carolina. Additionally, Yadkin Success Academy has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42% to 91.67% over the past three years, significantly higher than the 63.98% rate at Boonville Elementary.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($31,264 in 2018-2019) than the nearby Boonville Elementary ($11,825 in 2018-2019) and the state average, Yadkin Success Academy has struggled to translate this higher spending into improved academic outcomes for its students. The school's small size, with only 46 students, may present unique challenges in terms of staffing, resources, and the ability to offer a diverse range of educational opportunities.

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.
