Academically, Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy has consistently underperformed compared to the Halifax County Schools district and the North Carolina state averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across multiple grade levels.

These findings suggest the school is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.

The high poverty levels and the school's predominantly African American student population, coupled with its low academic performance compared to the district and state averages, raise concerns about educational equity and the need for targeted interventions to support underserved student groups. The school's per-student spending of $13,990 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.1 for the 2022-2023 school year may also indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve educational outcomes for the students of Scotland Neck Elementary Leadership Academy.
