Summary

Scroggs Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, serving 397 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of Scroggs Elementary's academic performance, with strong proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science that exceed state and district averages.

One notable strength of Scroggs Elementary is its consistently high performance, with rankings between 111th and 167th out of 1,502 North Carolina elementary schools over the past decade. The school's projected proficiency rates for the 2024-2025 school year are particularly impressive, with 66.2% in 3rd grade Math, 72% in 4th grade Math, and 67.2% in 5th grade Science, compared to the state averages of 64.1%, 58.9%, and 62%, respectively.

However, the school's data also highlights the need to address disparities in student group performance. While Scroggs Elementary serves a relatively affluent student population, with only around 28% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students is lower than the state average. Examining the underlying factors and implementing strategies to ensure equitable outcomes for all students could further strengthen the school's already impressive academic achievements.
