Summary:

Francine Delany New School is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Asheville, North Carolina. The school's performance on state standardized tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates below the North Carolina state average in mathematics but generally on par or above in reading and science. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 558th out of 1,505 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 866th out of 1,490 in 2024-2025.

Francine Delany New School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, which could be a strength as smaller class sizes can potentially lead to more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school serves an unspecified percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may face challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population.

Overall, the data provides a limited snapshot of Francine Delany New School, but it suggests the school has room for improvement in certain academic areas and may require additional support or resources to address any challenges related to its student demographics. Further analysis with more comprehensive data would be needed to gain a deeper understanding of the school's performance and identify specific strategies for improvement.
