Reedy Creek Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 52.63% African American, 30.59% Hispanic, and 7.75% White. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Reedy Creek's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 47.5%, compared to 61.8% for the district and 62.7% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for African American students and English Language Learners, but lower rankings for Gifted and Talented students.
Reedy Creek Elementary's unique challenges are further highlighted by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.96% in 2021-2022 to 54.42% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Devonshire Elementary, United Community School, and Hickory Ridge Elementary, which have free and reduced lunch rates above 90%. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 607 out of 1,473 North Carolina elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 976 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, suggests that the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state.
