Summary

Morehead Elementary at Camp Glenn is an upper-elementary school in Morehead City, NC, serving only 4th and 5th grades with 253 students. It is part of Carteret County Public Schools, a district ranked 31st out of 246 in North Carolina. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school earned 4 stars and jumped to the 79th percentile statewide (316th out of 1,492 elementary schools) after several years in the low-to-mid 60th percentile range, making it one of the area's most improved schools this year.

On the most recent EOG tests, Morehead Elementary at Camp Glenn beat the state average in every subject and roughly matched its district in 4th-grade math (70.4%) and reading (69.6%). The one caveat is 5th grade, where scores trail district averages by about 3–5 points across math, reading, and science — a pattern worth attention because the school already serves only 4th and 5th graders. Students typically arrive from Morehead City Primary, which posted solid 3rd-grade results of its own. Among nearby schools, Bogue Sound Elementary ranks slightly higher at the 84th percentile, while Morehead outranks Tiller School (77th), Harkers Island Elementary (68th), Newport Elementary (64th), and Beaufort Elementary (58th). This year's gains were broad — including a 14-point jump in 5th-grade math — and the student-teacher ratio is a comfortable 13.6:1.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell to 15.1%, well below the district rate of 18.7% and the state's 24.2%. The main opportunities are closing the remaining 5th-grade gap, especially in science (73.7% vs. 78.4% districtwide), and providing stronger support for students with disabilities and English Learners, whose subgroup results currently trail statewide peers. With strong recent momentum, solid attendance, and a positive trajectory, Morehead Elementary at Camp Glenn is a solid option for families in the Morehead City area.
