Elementary Schools in Davidson County Schools

Summary:

The Davidson County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 18 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 207 to 742, and offer a diverse educational experience across the region.

Several schools stand out as top performers, including Wallburg Elementary, which consistently ranks among the best elementary schools in North Carolina, and Friendship Elementary and Friedberg Elementary, which have also maintained high academic achievement and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools excel in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency, outperforming district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals stark contrasts in academic performance, with some schools, such as Denton Elementary and Churchland Elementary, struggling with lower proficiency rates, particularly in relation to their higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These findings suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities across the Davidson County Schools district.
