Summary

Rex-Rennert Elementary is a public elementary school located in Shannon, North Carolina, serving 388 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 215 out of 242 districts in the state.

Rex-Rennert Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 45% of 3rd graders at Rex-Rennert were proficient in math, compared to 64.1% statewide and 56.2% in the district. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 99% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Rex-Rennert to nearby schools in the same district, such as Oxendine Elementary, Magnolia Elementary, and Union Chapel Elementary, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. These schools, which serve more economically diverse student populations, significantly outperform Rex-Rennert on academic measures, despite having similar or even higher percentages of students from low-income families. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance.
