Elementary Schools in Public Schools of Robeson County

The Public Schools of Robeson County district in North Carolina contains 22 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 215 out of 242 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in educational outcomes across the district.

While the majority of schools in the district struggle to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in reading, a few schools stand out as potential high-performers. East Robeson Primary, Tanglewood Elementary, Union Elementary, and Oxendine Elementary demonstrate exceptional proficiency rates in math and reading, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. These schools suggest that high-quality education is possible within the district, even in high-poverty areas.

However, the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 98.16% to 99.63% across all 22 schools, indicate a high-poverty student population that likely contributes to the overall low academic performance. The district's spending per student, averaging around $10,000, and student-teacher ratios, typically between 15-17 students per teacher, suggest that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to address the systemic challenges facing the Public Schools of Robeson County and improve educational outcomes for all students.
