Best Elementary Schools in Fayetteville, NC

Summary:

The city of Fayetteville, North Carolina is home to 37 elementary schools that are part of the Cumberland County Schools district. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a diverse range of educational opportunities in the region.

Among the standout schools in the area are Vanstory Hills Elementary, which is ranked in the top 20% of North Carolina elementary schools and boasts strong test scores across math, reading, and science. Stoney Point Elementary and Howard L. Hall Elementary are also high-performing, with consistent top 25% rankings in the state and above-average proficiency rates. In contrast, some schools like Westarea Elementary struggle academically, with only 30.1% of 5th graders proficient in math.

The data reveals stark disparities in student demographics and economic disadvantage across the district. While some schools like Cliffdale Elementary have predominantly minority student populations, others like Vanstory Hills Elementary are more racially balanced. Additionally, the majority of schools have very high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Addressing these inequities and supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students will be crucial for improving educational outcomes across the Cumberland County Schools district.
