Alamance Community School

Alamance Community School is the sole public charter elementary school serving the Haw River, North Carolina area. With a diverse student population, the school has struggled academically, consistently ranking in the bottom third of North Carolina elementary schools and maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

Academically, Alamance Community School lags behind the state-wide averages in North Carolina for proficiency in Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate is 37%, compared to the state average of 62.7%. Similarly, the school's 3rd grade Reading proficiency rate is 37%, compared to the state average of 48.7%. While the school performs better in 5th grade Science, with a 69% proficiency rate compared to the state's 66.2%, its overall academic performance remains a concern.

Despite the school's academic challenges, Alamance Community School boasts a diverse student population, with a significant representation of minority groups. However, the lack of data on the percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and its potential impact on academic performance. To improve, the school may need to focus on enhancing its instructional practices and student support to better prepare its students for academic success.
