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.

The school's treatment of special needs students has been abhorrent. Details here: https://medium.com/@trogdor8768/exceptional-and-extraordinary-2281abde4ab4 Close Quote

It used to be better, then it got worse, but it's getting better now. I've been going there my whole life. It's not a bad school at all. Close Quote

Neuse Charter School has much smaller classes. The classes are well organized and meet the needs of the students the school rather than the district as a whole. It is focuses on multicultural and technology based curricula. I this extremely clean and well cared for by teacher, students, staff, and parent volunteers. Parents volunteers are vital and a requirement of the school. The fact that is a K-12 school is also very convenient families and aids in the development of the students. Close Quote

Neuse Charter School is now a K-12th grade school of excellence. Our address is 909 E. Booker Dairy Road Smithfield NC 27577. I have had all three of my children attend this school since the day it opened it's doors back in 2007. I have never regretted the decision to have them attend this fabulous public charter school. With low class sizes, high expectations and huge parent involvement they are lucky to be here. We are lucky not to have to deal with many of the problems of other schools. No drugs, not gangs, no sagging pants and disrespect. It is a privilege to attend this school! Close Quote

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.
