Summary

Scroggs Elementary is a PK-5 school in Chapel Hill, NC, serving 410 students within the highly regarded Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district, which ranks 28th out of 246 districts statewide. Scroggs is a consistently strong performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 165th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools (89th percentile) in the most recent year, along with several 5-star ratings over the past decade. A one-year dip in 2024-2025 appears to be an anomaly rather than a trend, since the school rebounded sharply the following year.

Among nearby schools, Scroggs outperforms many district peers, including Carrboro Elementary, Ephesus Elementary, McDougle Elementary, and Northside Elementary, but it trails a small cluster of top local schools: Glenwood Elementary (66th), Estes Hills Elementary (136th), and Seawell Elementary (146th). Academically, Scroggs outperforms state averages in every subject and grade, and 5th grade science stands out as a genuine strength, with proficiency rates often near or above 90%. The clearest internal soft spot is 4th grade: in the most recent year, math and reading proficiency were both 69.4%, below the district averages of 75.8% and 73.2%, a pattern that may point to a challenging cohort or a grade-level area of concern.

The school's biggest challenge is equity of outcomes, as test results vary substantially across student groups. While White students ranked in the 98th percentile statewide, African American students ranked in the 3rd percentile in the most recent available data, and low-income students dipped to the 4th percentile in 2024-2025 before improving to the 47th percentile the next year. Chronic absenteeism (12.5%) is meaningfully better than the district average of 19.2% and the statewide 24.2%, though the very highest-performing nearby schools also boast lower absenteeism. With a 12.0 student-teacher ratio and per-pupil spending slightly below several area peers, Scroggs' strong results appear to come from solid teaching in a supportive district environment rather than from any resource advantage.
