Elementary Schools in Wilmington School of the Arts

There is only one elementary school located in the Wilmington School of the Arts district, which is the Wilmington School of the Arts. This school serves students from grades K-5 and is situated in Wilmington, North Carolina. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years, with the school ranking significantly lower in the state compared to other elementary schools.

The Wilmington School of the Arts has a relatively diverse student body, with 64.68% White, 9.45% African American, 8.96% Hispanic, 0.5% Asian, 1% Native American, 2.99% Pacific Islander, and 12.44% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade science, but underperforming in other subject areas and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined, from 1,150 out of 1,514 North Carolina elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,483 out of 1,502 in 2022-2023, with a 0-star rating.

The data suggests that the Wilmington School of the Arts may face challenges in supporting the academic needs of its diverse student population, as evidenced by the declining performance and low statewide ranking. The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 51.74% also indicates that a significant portion of the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact their academic performance. While the school has some relative strengths, such as its performance in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade science, further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve overall student outcomes.
