Summary

Pitts School Road Elementary is a K-5 school in Concord, NC, serving 885 students as part of the Cabarrus County Schools district. The school has built a reputation as a solid, dependable performer in the North Carolina public school system. Currently rated 4 stars, Pitts School Road Elementary ranks 427th out of 1,492 elementary schools in the state, placing it in the 71st percentile—a standing it has maintained consistently over the past decade. With just over half of its students (51%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Pitts School Road serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students and sits in a middle ground compared to some nearby schools with either very high or very low poverty rates.

Families often look at how a school performs given its demographics, and Pitts School Road shines in this regard. The school outperforms its demographic expectations, a fact made clear when compared to Weddington Hills Elementary, which has nearly identical poverty and attendance rates. Despite these similarities, Pitts School Road posts significantly higher test scores across the board, such as a 72.9% proficiency rate in 5th-grade math compared to Weddington's 58%. The school's strongest academic identity lies in STEM subjects: 5th-grade science proficiency is an impressive 81.3%, far exceeding the state average, and math scores remain well above state norms. Reading, however, is the school's primary growth area, with scores hovering around the district average but trailing the state's top performers.

The school also shows a strong commitment to equity, earning high marks for its support of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners relative to statewide peers. Chronic absenteeism, a key predictor of academic trouble, stands at 16.7%—better than the district rate of 18.0% and significantly better than the statewide rate of 24.2%. However, there are concerns on the horizon. The most pressing is a marked decline in outcomes for students in the special education program, which has dropped from the 70th percentile to the 20th percentile over the last three years. There is also a persistent gender gap, with female students ranking higher than male students in recent state subgroup comparisons. Overall, Pitts School Road Elementary offers a stable, better-than-average education, particularly in math and science—and is a school that consistently beats expectations for its student population.
