Summary:
Northside Elementary is a public elementary school in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, serving 395 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 242 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.
Northside Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 45.57% White, 22.28% African American, 12.41% Hispanic, and 12.91% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly for certain student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, Northside's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 54.3%, compared to the district's 71.6% and the state's 62.7%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well, but African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing significantly lower, often in the bottom 10-20% of North Carolina elementary schools.
Northside Elementary's challenges are further highlighted by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.23% in 2020-2021 to 48.85% in 2021-2022, which is higher than some nearby schools like Scroggs Elementary and Glenwood Elementary. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 433 out of 1,440 North Carolina elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 961 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
