Summary

R Brown McAllister Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Concord, North Carolina, serving 391 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Cabarrus County Schools district, which is ranked 66th out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

R Brown McAllister Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was higher than the district and state averages, its proficiency rates in mathematics and reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were generally lower. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with some years showing stronger results and others weaker. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and special education students performing better than the state averages, while African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students have struggled.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Cabarrus County district, such as Weddington Hills Elementary and Coltrane-Webb Elementary, R Brown McAllister Elementary generally performs at a lower level. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families may contribute to the academic struggles of certain subgroups, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support. Despite these challenges, the school's strengths in science suggest potential areas for improvement and growth.
