Summary

Kirkman Park Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in High Point, North Carolina, serving 247 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 142 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Kirkman Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading that are generally below the Guilford County and state averages. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is relatively stronger compared to the state averages for those subgroups. The school has a high percentage of students (around 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the school's academic performance remains a challenge.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Oak Hill Elementary, Union Hill Elementary, and Northwood Elementary, Kirkman Park Elementary performs significantly worse, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics and reading across grade levels. The nearby schools have similar high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but their overall performance is generally better than Kirkman Park Elementary.
