Summary:
MINA Charter School of Lee County is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the MINA Charter School of Lee County district, located in Sanford, North Carolina. With a total enrollment of 427 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant academic challenges.
The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are well below state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, mathematics proficiency rates range from 18.9% to 63.6% across different grade levels, compared to state averages of 53.5% to 64.1%. Similarly, science proficiency rates are 40.5% and 26.3% for 5th and 8th grades, respectively, compared to state averages of 62% and 70.1%. This suggests that MINA Charter School of Lee County is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students.
One potential factor contributing to the school's academic challenges is its high-poverty student population, with 92.51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may indicate that the school faces significant obstacles in addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by its student body. However, the school's relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1 could be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that MINA Charter School of Lee County is a struggling school that requires targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for its students.
