East Carolina Community School

The East Carolina Community School district consists of a single elementary school, ECU Community School, located in Greenville, North Carolina. This school serves a predominantly African American student population, with 95.93% of its 123 students identifying as such. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 94.31% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, ECU Community School's performance is mixed. While the school excels in 5th-grade mathematics and science, with proficiency rates of 94.7% in both subjects, it struggles in 3rd-grade reading, where only 30.4% of students are proficient, compared to a state average of 48.7%. The school's overall ranking has declined over the past three years, from 986 out of 1,514 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 672 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address its areas of weakness.

Despite the challenges faced by ECU Community School, the data suggests that the school has some areas of strength, particularly in its high-performing 5th-grade students. However, the significant gaps between the school's performance and the state averages in several grade levels and subjects, as well as its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicate that the school may require additional support and resources to ensure the academic success of all its students.
