Summary:
Cooleemee, North Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Cooleemee Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 459 students. The school is part of the Davie County Schools district, which is ranked 67 out of 242 school districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Cooleemee Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the state, with a statewide ranking fluctuating between 870 and 970 out of 1,490 to 1,505 elementary schools and a consistent 2-out-of-5-star rating, the school does have some notable strengths and challenges. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of its 5th-grade Mathematics and Science proficiency rates, which exceeded the district and state averages in recent years. Socioeconomically, Cooleemee Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at nearly 79% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite these challenges, Cooleemee Elementary appears to be allocating resources to support its students, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 and per-student spending of $10,266 in the 2018-2019 school year, both of which are better than national averages. This suggests a focus on providing more individualized attention and resources to address the needs of the school's predominantly low-income student population.
