Best Public Schools in Candor, NC


Summary:

The city of Candor, North Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Candor Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 374 students. Candor Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Candor Elementary faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on state standardized tests consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1208 out of 1514 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1410 out of 1505 in 2023-2024. This persistent academic underperformance suggests the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support the school's students, particularly in the areas of mathematics and reading.

While Candor Elementary's per-student spending is above the state average, it remains below the district average for Montgomery County Schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.2 is also slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio for elementary schools, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the school. Addressing these resource allocation and staffing issues could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students of Candor Elementary.
