While Cumberland Road Elementary's overall performance is relatively low, the school's African American students have performed significantly better than their peers at the school, ranking in the top 25% of North Carolina elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. However, the school's performance has been quite variable over the years, with the school's ranking ranging from 701 to 1,127 out of over 1,400 North Carolina elementary schools. When compared to the nearby schools, such as Vanstory Hills Elementary, Alma O Easom Elementary, and William H Owen Elementary, Cumberland Road Elementary generally performs worse on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates across most grade levels and subject areas. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student ($11,146 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $8,221 to $15,400 per student, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the school.
