Summary

Royal Elementary is a public elementary school located in Louisburg, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 354. It is part of the Franklin County Schools district, which is ranked 117 out of 242 districts in the state.

Royal Elementary has shown mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 583 to 1066 out of around 1500 North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school's performance is projected to improve in the 2024-2025 school year, with 3-star ratings and rankings in the 500-600 range. Compared to the Franklin County Schools district and the state of North Carolina, Royal Elementary has generally performed below average in mathematics and reading proficiency, with some exceptions in 5th-grade science. For example, in 2024-2025, Royal Elementary's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency is 71.4%, compared to 65.5% for the district and 64.1% for the state.

While Royal Elementary's overall performance is below average, the school has shown stronger performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who have ranked in the top 50% of North Carolina elementary schools in recent years. This suggests that the school may have effective strategies or programs in place to support these student populations. Additionally, Royal Elementary's proximity to several high-performing schools, such as Jones Dairy Elementary and Envision Science Academy, both ranked among the top 5% and 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, respectively, presents opportunities for collaboration, resource sharing, and learning from best practices to further enhance the educational experience for all students at Royal Elementary.
