Best Public Schools in Scotland Neck, NC

Summary:

The city of Scotland Neck, North Carolina has only one school serving grades PK-5 - the Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy. This school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, a predominantly African American student population, and a high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
