Best Public Schools in Middlesex, NC

Summary:

The city of Middlesex, North Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Middlesex Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 342 students. The school is part of the Nash County Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Middlesex Elementary faces significant challenges, including declining academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics are higher than the district averages for grades 3-5 but lower than the state averages, while in Reading, the proficiency rates are lower than both the district and state averages for grades 3-5. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates have generally declined in both Mathematics and Reading compared to the previous year. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with a high percentage of students (72.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

The school's performance ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 1,252 out of 1,514 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 931 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 1 star out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 in the current school year. While these challenges are significant, the school's higher-than-district proficiency rates in Mathematics suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
