Summary

Donna L Loflin Elementary is a K–5 school in Asheboro, NC, serving about 300 students within the Asheboro City Schools district, where 99% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school recently earned 0 stars and ranked 1,412 out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, placing it in the 5th percentile. This marks a steep decline from recent years: Loflin ranked in the 27th percentile in 2023-24 and the 17th percentile in 2024-25 before falling to the 5th percentile in 2025-26. Academic proficiency is well below state and district averages across nearly every grade and subject.

The most serious concern is early literacy. Only about 1 in 5 third graders is proficient in reading — a 33-point gap from the state average — and only about 1 in 4 fifth graders is proficient. Math and science scores are also low, with fifth-grade scores dropping sharply in the most recent year. Chronic absenteeism has been inconsistent, rising to 24.2% in 2024-25 after a stronger 17.5% rate the year before. These challenges appear across nearly every student group the school serves, suggesting a broad-based struggle rather than a one-classroom issue.

Loflin is the lowest-ranked of Asheboro's elementary schools, but a nearby comparison shows that different outcomes are possible. Guy B Teachey Elementary, about two miles away, serves a similarly high-poverty population (99.3% free/reduced lunch) yet earns a 3-star rating with dramatically higher proficiency rates — more than double Loflin's in several subjects. Even next-door neighbor Lindley Park Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate at 17.1%. Reading intervention and reducing absenteeism are the most urgent areas for improvement. Families interested in learning more can visit the school's profile page or the district page for additional details.
