Summary

Wolf Meadow Elementary is a public elementary school in Concord, North Carolina, serving 528 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Cabarrus County Schools district, which is ranked 66 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Wolf Meadow Elementary consistently underperforms compared to both the district and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 28.5% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 70.2% for the district and 64.1% for the state. This places Wolf Meadow Elementary in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, ranking 1428 out of 1490.

When comparing Wolf Meadow Elementary to other nearby schools in the Cabarrus County district, such as Pitts School Road Elementary and Harrisburg Elementary, it consistently underperforms, with proficiency rates that are 30-50 percentage points lower in core subjects. While the reasons for this disparity are complex, the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Wolf Meadow Elementary may be a contributing factor.
