Summary

Virginia Williamson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bolivia, North Carolina, serving 547 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Brunswick County Schools district, which is ranked 96 out of 242 districts in the state.

Virginia Williamson Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rates outperformed the state and district, its Mathematics and Reading proficiency rates were generally lower. Compared to nearby schools, the school's performance is lower than higher-performing schools like Waccamaw, Town Creek Elementary, and Edwin A Anderson Elementary, but higher than lower-performing schools like Bolivia Elementary and Supply Elementary.

Despite the school's high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, Virginia Williamson Elementary has shown relatively strong performance for its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 30% of North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school faces challenges in supporting the learning and achievement of other student subgroups, such as Hispanic and White students, as well as students with disabilities and gifted and talented students. By learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools and addressing the unique needs of its student population, the school may be able to improve its overall academic performance and provide a more equitable education for all its students.
