SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,490 North Carolina Elementary Schools

Better than 22% of North Carolina elementary schools

Summary

Pactolus is an elementary school located in Greenville, North Carolina, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 635 students. It is part of the Pitt County Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Pactolus has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Pactolus consistently underperforms compared to the Pitt County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Pactolus had significantly lower proficiency rates in Mathematics (ranging from 35.1% to 65.2%) and Reading (ranging from 29.3% to 46.2%) compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Pactolus shows significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for English Language Learner students but struggling with White students and Special Education students.

Pactolus's challenges may be influenced by its high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While Pactolus spends $10,450 per student, which is higher than the state average, it performs significantly worse than the other elementary schools in the Pitt County Schools district, such as Wintergreen Primary, Wintergreen Intermediate, and G.R. Whitfield. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Pactolus.
