Summary

Rashkis Elementary is a pre-K–5 public school in Chapel Hill, NC, serving about 455 students in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district, which ranks among the top districts in North Carolina. Rashkis itself, though, has seen its statewide standing slip from 104th (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2018-19 to 468th out of 1,492 elementary schools (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26. The school still scores above state averages in nearly every subject and grade, but it consistently trails its own district — in some cases by wide margins. Reading shows the largest gaps: 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade reading proficiency at Rashkis runs 11 to 13 percentage points below the district average, a gap that has persisted across multiple years.

Among eight nearby Chapel Hill-Carrboro elementary schools, only Northside Elementary ranks lower than Rashkis, and schools just a short drive away tell very different stories. Glenwood Elementary, only 1.2 miles away, sits in the 96th percentile statewide, while Estes Hills Elementary (91st), Seawell Elementary (90th), Carrboro Elementary (89th), and Scroggs Elementary (89th) all rank well ahead. The student body also looks different from those schools: 47.7% of Rashkis students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with 19.2% at Glenwood and roughly 26% to 36% at most other nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism, at 16.8%, is better than the district average of 19.2% but still higher than the 5.6% to 8.9% range at the strongest nearby schools.

Rashkis also has real bright spots. English learners (81st percentile statewide), multiracial students (91st), and White students (90th) all perform well relative to their statewide peers, and low-income student performance jumped from the 36th to the 57th percentile in one year. Chronic absenteeism is improving. Outcomes for African American students (18th percentile) and Asian students (29th percentile) point to equity challenges the school must work on. With reading gaps persisting across grades and years, strengthening reading support is the clearest path back to the school's former 4-5 star status. Rashkis already outspends most nearby schools on a per-pupil basis, so how those resources are used — not just how much is spent — may matter most for future progress.
