Summary

Glade Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ennice, North Carolina, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 238 students. The school is part of the Alleghany County Schools district, which is ranked 157 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Glade Creek Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 649 and 1211 out of 1425-1514 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Alleghany County Schools and North Carolina state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Glade Creek Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading were significantly lower than the county and state averages, with gaps ranging from 14.9 to 29.5 percentage points. The school's White and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups consistently rank in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, with 0 and 1 SchoolDigger star ratings, respectively.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Piney Creek Elementary and Sparta Elementary, generally outperform Glade Creek Elementary on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading. However, Glade Creek Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 13.3 students per teacher over the past three school years, which may indicate a more favorable learning environment for students.
