Elementary Schools in Cumberland County Schools


Summary:

The Cumberland County Schools district in North Carolina encompasses 51 diverse elementary schools serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The district's performance varies, with several standout schools ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle to meet academic benchmarks.

The top-performing elementary schools in the district include Beaver Dam Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 5% of North Carolina elementary schools, and Eastover-Central Elementary and Armstrong Elementary, which rank in the top 12% and 13% respectively. These schools boast exceptional test scores, strong student performance, and high ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, many schools in the district have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which appears to be correlated with lower academic achievement.

Overall, the Cumberland County Schools district is ranked 144 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The data suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teaching practices, and curriculum, may play a crucial role in student success. The district may need to implement targeted interventions and share best practices from its high-performing schools to address the significant performance disparities and ensure more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
