Elementary Schools in Asheville PEAK Academy

Asheville PEAK Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Asheville PEAK Academy district, serving students from grades K-5. This small, diverse school has academic performance that generally falls below state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading proficiency.

With just 90 students, Asheville PEAK Academy has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 to 1, which may provide more individualized attention for students. However, the school's academic performance lags behind state benchmarks, with 3rd grade math and reading proficiency rates significantly below the North Carolina averages. While the school excels in 5th grade science, with a 72.2% proficiency rate compared to 66.2% statewide, its overall 1-star rating and ranking of 1065 out of 1505 North Carolina elementary schools suggests room for improvement.

The diverse student population at Asheville PEAK Academy, with a majority of African American students and smaller percentages of White, Hispanic, and multiracial students, is a positive aspect of the school. However, the lack of data on free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to fully assess the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting academic achievement. Overall, Asheville PEAK Academy appears to be an area of focus for improvement efforts to help raise student performance and better serve the diverse community it represents.
