Summary

Grove Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Burlington, North Carolina, serving 407 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, which is ranked 193 out of 242 districts in the state.

Grove Park Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading that are 20-50 percentage points lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Low Socioeconomic Status students, and Disabled students, who rank in the bottom 20-25% of their respective subgroups statewide. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the school's per-student spending is higher than the district average, the student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is slightly higher than the district average, which may indicate a need for additional teaching staff to support the high-needs student population. Nearby schools in the Alamance-Burlington district, such as North Graham Elementary, Highland Elementary, and South Graham Elementary, generally perform better academically than Grove Park Elementary, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings.
