Summary

FPG Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, serving 517 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the highly-ranked Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district, which is ranked 30th out of 242 districts in the state.

FPG Elementary consistently performs above the state average in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 70.5%, compared to the state average of 64.1%, and its 4th-grade reading proficiency rate was 73.5%, significantly higher than the state average of 58.1%. However, the school's English Language Learner and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups struggle, ranking in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools.

When compared to other schools in the district, FPG Elementary often outperforms them in academic proficiency rates. But it lags behind the highest-performing schools, such as Glenwood Elementary and Seawell Elementary, particularly in the performance of its subgroups. The school's per-student spending of $11,908 in the 2018-2019 school year is also lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, which may indicate a need for additional resources to support its diverse student population and address the performance gaps observed.
