Best Public Schools in Sandy Ridge, NC

Summary:

The city of Sandy Ridge, North Carolina is home to a single elementary school, Sandy Ridge Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 156 students. While the school has historically performed well, recent data shows a concerning decline in its statewide ranking and academic performance compared to the Stokes County Schools district and the state of North Carolina.

Sandy Ridge Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (85.9%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (8.97%), African American (1.28%), and students of two or more races (3.85%). However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 72.44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's declining academic performance, as its proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are generally lower than the district and state averages.

Over the past three school years, Sandy Ridge Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 384th out of 1,514 North Carolina elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 984th out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger star rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this time. To address these challenges, the school may need to implement targeted strategies to improve student learning and achievement, particularly in core subject areas, while also addressing the socioeconomic needs of its student population.
