Summary:
Pine Hall Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Pine Hall, North Carolina, serving 101 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly White student population, with 84.16% of students identifying as White, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.39% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Over the past several years, Pine Hall Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 560 out of 1,434 North Carolina elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,114 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state and district averages, while others have underperformed significantly. For example, the school's 3rd-grade students scored 64.7% proficient or better in Mathematics, outperforming the state average, but the 5th-grade students scored only 31.6% proficient or better, much lower than the state and district averages.
When compared to other nearby schools in the Stokes County Schools district, Pine Hall Elementary School generally underperforms on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Reading. However, the school's performance on the 5th-grade Science assessment was closer to the district and state averages, suggesting potential strengths in science education. The school's lack of racial diversity, with a much higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, may also be a factor in its performance, as research has shown that diverse learning environments can benefit student outcomes.
