Summary

Ahoskie Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Ahoskie, North Carolina, which is part of the Hertford County Schools district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 903 and 1430 out of around 1500 schools.

Ahoskie Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low test scores that underperform the state and district averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 27.4% to 52.7% across different subjects and grade levels, compared to the state averages of 52.9% to 62%. The school also has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. However, the school's African American and low-income students perform better relative to their peers statewide compared to the school's overall performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Riverview Elementary, Bearfield Primary, and schools in the Edenton-Chowan and Gates County districts, Ahoskie Elementary generally underperforms on test scores and other metrics. However, these nearby schools also have higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Ahoskie Elementary's low spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes.
