Summary

Ballantyne Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 989 students in grades K-5. The school consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, outperforming the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district and the state in academic achievement.

Ballantyne Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 83.3% to 85.1% across grades 3-5, compared to the district's 61.4% to 66.7% and the state's 58.9% to 64.1%. The school also excels in supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 5-10% of North Carolina elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 9.89% to 26.69%, suggests that it serves a more affluent student population compared to the district and state averages.

While Ballantyne Elementary faces competition from other high-performing schools within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, such as Polo Ridge Elementary and Hawk Ridge Elementary, it also outperforms nearby schools like Smithfield Elementary. Additionally, Rea View Elementary and Marvin Elementary, which are part of the Union County Public Schools district, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance and may be considered as alternative options for families in the Ballantyne area.
