Summary

E M Yoder Elementary is a PK–5 school in Mebane, NC, serving 336 students in the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, and it stands out as a stable, above-average performer in a district where many nearby schools struggle. The school currently ranks in the 64th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating, and over the past decade it has never dropped below the 58th percentile. With about 51.5% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Yoder serves a socioeconomically mixed community, and its 13:1 student-teacher ratio is among the lowest in the Mebane/Graham area.

Academically, Yoder's greatest strength appears in the upper elementary grades. In 2025–26, 5th graders posted 74.5% proficiency in math, 68.1% in reading, and 70.2% in science — all well above the Alamance-Burlington Schools district averages of 52.5%, 47.6%, and 57.1%, respectively. Just 0.8 miles away, South Mebane Elementary, which serves a similar community, ranked in the 39th percentile and saw just 48.0% of its 5th graders proficient in reading. Even Audrey W. Garrett Elementary, which ranks slightly higher overall, trails Yoder in 5th grade math and reading. This pattern suggests Yoder is particularly effective at developing students as they move through elementary school.

Yoder also differentiates itself through attendance and school climate. Chronic absenteeism stood at 21.4% in 2024–25, far better than the 30.0% rate across the Alamance-Burlington Schools district and close to the state's 24.2%. That said, there are equity concerns worth noting: rankings for the school's low-income subgroup have been volatile, falling from the 67th percentile in 2023–24 to the 27th percentile in 2024–25 before recovering to the 36th percentile in 2025–26. Since roughly half of Yoder's students qualify for free/reduced lunch, some families may want to learn more about supports for students from all backgrounds, even as the school's overall performance remains solid.
