Summary

Sylvan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Snow Camp, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 289 students. The school is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, which is ranked 193 out of 242 districts in the state.

Sylvan Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 62.3%, compared to the district's 56.1% and the state's 64.1%. However, the school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate was only 36.7%, significantly lower than the district's 44.5% and the state's 59.3%. The school's reading proficiency rates are also consistently lower than the district and state averages.

Sylvan Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom third of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 800 and 1,275 out of 1,490 schools in the state over the past 10 years. The school has been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lower-performing schools in the state. The school's performance varies greatly among different student subgroups, with male, white, and gifted students performing significantly better than female, low-income, and minority students. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
