Public Grades

Summary

Cedar Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Nashville, North Carolina, serving 155 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Nash County Public Schools district.

Despite being part of a low-performing district, Cedar Grove Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance. The school outperforms the district and state averages in Mathematics and Reading proficiency for grades 3-5, with particularly impressive results for its African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In fact, Cedar Grove's African American students rank 289 out of 933 North Carolina elementary schools, and its low-income students rank 451 out of 1,437 schools, both with a 3-star rating. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

Cedar Grove Elementary's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students than nearby schools, is a strength. The school's consistent academic performance, with a statewide ranking ranging from 891 to 1,033 out of over 1,500 North Carolina elementary schools in the past three years, is noteworthy, especially given the socioeconomic challenges faced by many of its students. While Cedar Grove outperforms other schools in the Nash County Public Schools district, there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools, such as Edward Best Elementary in the Franklin County Schools district.
