Summary:
The Brunswick County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the academic performance and key characteristics of these schools.
Among the standout elementary schools in the district are Union Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state with exceptional test scores, and Town Creek Elementary and Southport Elementary, which have also earned high rankings and strong academic proficiency rates. However, other schools in the district, such as Supply Elementary and Virginia Williamson Elementary, demonstrate lower proficiency rates, particularly in reading, suggesting potential achievement gaps that may need to be addressed.
Across the district, the elementary schools serve student populations with extremely high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the 99.24% to 99.59% free/reduced lunch rates. Despite these challenges, the schools maintain student-teacher ratios that are generally in line with or slightly lower than the state average, and per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average. These factors, combined with the significant racial and ethnic diversity of the student populations, underscore the complex interplay between socioeconomic status, school resources, and academic achievement in the Brunswick County Schools district.
