Summary

Oakwood Elementary in Yanceyville, NC, is a small, rural PreK–5 school serving 336 students as part of Caswell County Schools. Nearly all students (99.1%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a poverty rate typical of the surrounding area. The school has historically scored below district and state averages in reading and math, but its statewide ranking has climbed from the 14th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026 — its best position in a decade of available data.

Oakwood has several clear strengths. Fifth-grade science is a standout, with 69.4% of students scoring proficient, slightly ahead of both the district (67.1%) and state (67.7%). Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply, from 51.8% in 2021-2022 to 28.6% in 2024-2025, and is now below the Caswell County average. African American students at Oakwood ranked in the 53rd percentile statewide this year, well above the school's overall standing and a major jump from the 32nd percentile two years ago. The school also spends generously — $12,827 per student — and maintains a favorable 14.6 student-teacher ratio.

Still, academic challenges remain, especially in early grades. Third-grade math proficiency is 44.9% versus the state's 66.4%, and 3rd-grade reading is 38.8% versus 55.6%. The gap with nearby North Elementary is striking: both schools serve nearly identical populations (99.1% poverty), yet North ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, with 84.3% of its 3rd graders proficient in math. Other high-poverty neighbors like Woodland Elementary (85th percentile) and Altamahaw-Ossipee Elementary (64th percentile) also outperform Oakwood, a reminder that high poverty does not predetermine low results. Encouragingly, Oakwood's recent gains — including 5th-grade reading jumping 14 points and science rising 13 points in one year — suggest real momentum, even if those gains will need to hold over several years to confirm a lasting turnaround.
