My students consist of some of the most needy children in North Carolina. Some of our students come from shelters, and others come from the Rescue Mission which provides them with food and shelter. The school has 98% free lunch and breakfast students because they come from families that qualify for these meals. The population we serve at our charter school is comprised of primarily Black (98%) and Hispanic (2%) students. Many of the families we serve are on food stamps and receiving funding from the state. The rest of the families we serve earn minimum state wages.
I am a fourth grade teacher, and I serve 8-9 year olds. My students struggle with basic grammar and basic mathematical skills. The reading levels of most of my students are below grade level. Being a charter school, we have limited resources at our fingertips compared to the local public school district. With cutbacks in state funding, we are in need of resources to help our students succeed.
