Summary

Elmhurst Elementary is a K-5 school in Greenville, NC, serving 454 students in the Pitt County Schools district, where nearly all students come from high-poverty backgrounds. Elmhurst Elementary has shown a steady upward climb over the past several years. After ranking in the 17th percentile statewide in 2017-2018, the school has stabilized at the 50th percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. While it remains in the middle of the pack among Pitt County elementary schools, this consistent improvement is meaningful given that over 99% of its students are eligible for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism, often a barrier in high-poverty schools, is a genuine strength here at 14.9%, significantly better than the district (21.7%) and state (24.2%) averages.

Elmhurst appears to be doing exceptionally well for its highest-ability students, with its Gifted and Talented subgroup ranking in the top 5% statewide in recent years. Academically, 4th grade is a clear bright spot: math proficiency (67.7%) and reading proficiency (63.1%) both surpass district and state averages. 5th grade science (71.8%) is also above average. The school maintains a slightly lower student-to-teacher ratio (13.4:1) than many nearby schools, such as Eastern Elementary (16.5:1) and Wintergreen Intermediate (16.4:1).

Elmhurst’s biggest challenges are significant equity gaps between different groups of students. While its Gifted and Talented students score exceptionally well—ranking in the top 5% statewide—students receiving special education services and those from low-income households score considerably lower. Early literacy is a specific bottleneck: 3rd grade reading proficiency is just 45.2%, well below the district (54.1%) and state (55.6%) averages. 5th grade math (52.1%) also lags behind district (67.2%) and state (62.9%) averages. Compared with nearby schools facing similar poverty levels, Elmhurst sits in the middle. Wintergreen Intermediate (87th percentile) and Ridgewood Elementary (80th percentile) rank higher, while schools like Lakeforest Elementary and Wahl Coates Elementary rank lower. Elmhurst is a steadily improving school where focused support for early literacy and its most vulnerable students could help it reach the top tier.
