Summary:
The Beaufort County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 7 elementary schools serving grades pre-K through 8. While the district contains a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, two standout institutions emerge - Chocowinity Primary and Bath Elementary. Chocowinity Primary ranks among the top 9 elementary schools in the state, with over 90% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in math and over 75% proficient in reading. Bath Elementary also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 131 schools statewide, particularly in math with over 90% of 3rd graders and 92% of 4th graders proficient or better.
In contrast, several other schools in the district, such as John Small Elementary and S.W. Snowden Elementary, rank in the bottom 15% of elementary schools in North Carolina. This stark contrast in academic performance suggests significant disparities within the Beaufort County Schools district. Additionally, the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 98.42% to 99.43% across all schools, indicate high levels of economic disadvantage that may be correlated with lower academic outcomes.
Overall, the data reveals a complex landscape within the Beaufort County Schools district, with pockets of excellence alongside lower-performing institutions. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students will be crucial for the district's continued improvement and growth.
