Summary

Trindale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Archdale, North Carolina, serving 389 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Randolph County School System, which is ranked 152 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Trindale Elementary stands out for its strong mathematics performance, with students consistently scoring above the district and state averages in grades 3-5. However, the school's reading proficiency is more mixed, with 3rd grade reading below the state average but 4th and 5th grade reading above the district and state. Interestingly, the school's low-income students perform well, ranking in the top 30% of North Carolina elementary schools for this subgroup, while the performance of white and male students has been relatively weaker.

Compared to nearby schools, Trindale Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than Archdale Elementary but weaker than the higher-performing Hopewell Elementary and John R. Lawrence Elementary within the same district. The school also spends more per student and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, but faces challenges with a high percentage of students from low-income families and a declining performance trend in recent years.

I have a son with special needs and this school has done nothing at all to help us with him. The principal has ignored a doctor's advice and refuses to place him in a different class. The principal has also received a poor rating in the North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Initiative which reflects her leadership skills with her staff. Close Quote
