Summary

Lilesville Elementary is a public elementary school in Lilesville, North Carolina, serving 242 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Anson County Schools district, which is ranked 182 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lilesville Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a statewide ranking ranging from 814 to 1431 out of around 1500 schools over the past 10 years. The school has received a 1 or 2 star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.32% to 98.91% over the past few years, as well as its consistently low academic performance on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

When comparing Lilesville Elementary to other nearby schools in the Anson County district, such as Peachland-Polkton Elementary and Ansonville Elementary, it is clear that Lilesville is the lowest-performing school. These other schools have higher proficiency rates, better statewide rankings, and higher ratings from SchoolDigger. Lilesville Elementary also underperforms compared to schools in the neighboring Richmond County district, such as Fairview Heights Elementary and Mineral Springs Elementary, which have higher academic achievement levels and better statewide rankings.
