However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with multi-racial students excelling but African American, Hispanic, and disabled students performing lower than the state average. Additionally, Rosewood Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges for the student population.
When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Meadow Lane Elementary and Grantham Elementary, Rosewood Elementary generally performs better academically, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 516th out of 1,390 North Carolina elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 777th out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. This, combined with the significant achievement gaps among student subgroups, indicates that Rosewood Elementary may need to focus on addressing these challenges and providing targeted support to ensure all students succeed.
