Summary

Bethel Hill Charter is a K–5 public charter school in rural Roxboro, North Carolina, serving 344 students and ranking among the best elementary schools in the region. In 2025–2026, the school ranked #166 out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), and it has placed within the 86th–90th percentile for five straight school years. Its district-level rating is equally strong: because the school operates as its own single-school charter district, that rating reflects this one school, earning 5 stars and ranking 16th out of 246 districts. Academically, 81.6% of students are proficient in math and 74.4% in reading, far above state averages of 63.6% and 56.2%. Nearby Woodland Elementary is the closest peer at the 85th percentile, while Helena Elementary (71st) and Oak Lane Elementary (55th) trail further behind.

What makes that performance especially noteworthy is the student body: 99.13% of Bethel Hill students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from roughly 50–54% in the two prior years — likely a change in federal meal reporting rather than a sudden demographic shift. Despite that high poverty level, the school's low-income students ranked in the 99th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, 13th out of 1,434 schools. Nearby district-run schools serve similarly high-poverty populations but generally score near the state median; Person County Schools ranks 104th out of 246 districts, while Granville County Schools ranks 182nd. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is well below the 13.9–20.8 range at nearby schools — a difference that likely supports more individualized instruction.

A few areas are worth monitoring. Fifth-grade reading proficiency (66%) is above the state average of 55.3% but trails the school's own 3rd- and 4th-grade reading results (80.4% and 76.7%). Chronic absenteeism is 21.9% — below the state's 24.2% but higher than the 14.1% reported at both Woodland Elementary and Oak Lane Elementary. A one-year dip in 5th-grade science in 2024–2025 has recovered, with proficiency back to 77.4% in 2025–2026. Overall, the school pairs a high-poverty population with consistently strong results, making it a standout option for Roxboro-area families.

Unless you are ready to home school your child, you don't want them to attend this school. Teachers send stacks of homework home that overwhelms children and parents, especially when they are in the first and second grade years. We tried for 2 years with Bethel Hill but that school failed us. Her first grade teacher was pathetic. We later found out that she had been a 3rd grade teacher at Bethel Hill but had been counseled and demoted to a first grade teacher as a result of poor performance. Very disappointed. We would drive our daughter 30 minutes, one way, each day, and for what? As a result of poor practices at that school our child had to have a tutor throughout the summer and during the second grade school year. And guess who flipped the bill??? We did ! When her tutor tried to reach out to the school no one would ever call her back. That's not right. The "learning environment" at Bethel Hill only created anxiety in my child. From timed reading (which is not recommended by educators) to stacks of homework that were grade levels above which they should be and would take sometimes until 930pm to complete. No one at Bethel Hill would ever take responsibility for the lackluster performances of their staff. Just empty ended excuses. I'm not the only parent that feels the way I do. I withdrew my child from Bethel Hill and now she is in public school. Best decision we have made. And I'm finding out there have been many parents that have done the same. The principle never called me back after requesting her to do so so that I could at least voice my concerns in an attempt to keep what happened to our daughter from happening to other students. I guess Ms. Poole had better things to do than to listen to constructive criticism about her school or to inquire why we had decided to transfer our daughter.
Oh, and to just give you an example of some of our second grade daughters homework here's one. See if you can answer it yourself:
