Summary:
The Community School of Digital & Visual Art is the sole elementary school located within the Community School of Digital and Visual A district in Durham, North Carolina. This public charter school serves grades K-8, catering to a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 98.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's academic performance, as measured by state End-of-Grade (EOG) test proficiency rates, is consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 24%, compared to the state average of 64.1%. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's declining statewide ranking, dropping from 1041 out of 1502 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1413 out of 1490 in 2024-2025. The school is currently rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, which could be seen as a positive factor, the data suggests that the school is struggling to effectively educate its students. The combination of low performance, declining rankings, and a high-need student population indicates that the Community School of Digital & Visual Art may require significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
