Elementary Schools in Stokes County Schools

Summary:

The Stokes County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools serve small, rural communities and face unique challenges, but some are standouts in academic performance. Poplar Springs Elementary School, King Elementary School, and Mount Olive Elementary School consistently perform above district and state averages on standardized tests, with Mount Olive's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate reaching an impressive 82.2% in 2023-2024.

Other schools, like Walnut Cove Elementary School and London Elementary School, have shown steady improvement, moving from 2-star to 3-star ratings on SchoolDigger. However, disparities in performance exist, with Pine Hall Elementary School struggling, with only 31.6% of 5th graders proficient in mathematics in 2023-2024. This suggests a need to address equity and ensure all students have access to high-quality education.

The data also reveals that factors beyond just resources, such as school culture and leadership, play a significant role in student outcomes. For example, Nancy Reynolds Elementary School, a small school with just 121 students, has exceptional mathematics performance, with 80% of 3rd graders, 87.5% of 4th graders, and 75% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024. Overall, the Stokes County Schools district is working to address the unique challenges of rural education and ensure all students receive the support they need to succeed.
