Summary

Eastlawn Elementary, a PK–5 school serving 528 students in Burlington, NC, within the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, is one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state — ranking 1,489th out of 1,492 on SchoolDigger's most recent 2025-2026 ratings, placing it in the 0th percentile with a 0-star rating. This is the result of a multi-year decline: the school ranked in the 11th percentile in 2016-2017 and has slid steadily, sitting at the 0th percentile for the last two consecutive reporting years.

Academic proficiency at Eastlawn is dramatically below district and state averages in every subject and grade. Only 14.8% of 4th graders were proficient in math (compared with 47.1% districtwide and 61.4% statewide), and just 17.4% of 3rd graders met the reading bar. High poverty alone does not explain these results: 99.4% of Eastlawn students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet nearby schools serve nearly identical populations and achieve far stronger outcomes. Marvin B Smith Elementary, just over four miles away in the same district, has a 99.3% free/reduced lunch rate yet posts roughly 74% average math proficiency and ranks in the 70th percentile statewide. R Homer Andrews Elementary, only 1.4 miles away, is likewise high-poverty but ranks about 380 spots higher. These comparisons suggest the drivers of Eastlawn's performance are not simply demographic or district-wide conditions.

Still, a few signs point toward potential progress. Chronic absenteeism, once severe at 52.4% in 2020-2021, has fallen to 33.7% in 2024-2025 — a roughly 19-point improvement that outpaces district and state trends, although it remains above both averages. Eastlawn also historically delivered its strongest subgroup results for students with disabilities, earning a 2-star rating with 39th-percentile effectiveness between 2017 and 2021. In sum, Eastlawn's challenges are deep and persistent, even as comparable schools in the same district demonstrate that stronger outcomes are attainable.
