Summary:
The city of Leland, North Carolina is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a community with a relatively low-income population, as evidenced by the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Among the standout schools in Leland is Classical Charter Schools of Leland, a public charter school for grades K-8 that consistently outperforms the state and district averages on End-of-Grade (EOG) tests in both math and reading. In contrast, Leland Middle School has struggled, with proficiency rates below 50% on many EOG tests. Belville Elementary also stands out for its strong performance, particularly in 3rd grade math, where students outperformed the state and district averages.
The data also reveals a wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 14.7 at Belville Elementary to 38.6 at Classical Charter Schools of Leland. This could be a contributing factor to the schools' varying levels of academic success. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary had mixed results, with strong 3rd grade math scores but very low reading proficiency in the upper elementary grades, suggesting potential curriculum or instructional issues that warrant further investigation.
