Classical Charter Schools of Wilmington

Classical Charter Schools of Wilmington is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Classical Charter Schools of Wilmington district, which is ranked 187 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 133 students, the school faces significant challenges, including underperforming test scores, particularly in mathematics, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, with the 5th-grade math proficiency rate at 33.3% in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 59.3%. While the 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate is on par with the state, the 5th-grade reading proficiency lags behind. This suggests the school may need to implement targeted interventions or teaching strategies to improve academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas.

Additionally, Classical Charter Schools of Wilmington serves a predominantly low-income student population, with nearly 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of this population. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 25.7 to 1, which may impact the level of individual attention and support provided to students.
