Summary

Greenway Park Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 544. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 242 districts in the state.

Despite receiving higher-than-average per-student funding, Greenway Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.2% of 3rd graders at Greenway Park were proficient or better in reading, compared to 46.5% for the district and 46.7% for the state.

The school serves a high-needs student population, with 99.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Greenway Park Elementary also has a relatively high proportion of English Language Learners and students with disabilities. While the school's low student-teacher ratio and additional funding suggest a focus on supporting these students, the consistently low academic performance indicates that a more targeted and comprehensive approach may be necessary to improve outcomes.
