Summary

Hasty Elementary is a Pre-K–5 public school in Thomasville, NC, serving 385 students as part of Davidson County Schools. About 99% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet Hasty ranks in the upper third of North Carolina elementary schools — 493rd out of 1,492 in 2025–2026, with a 4-star, 79th-percentile showing the year before. Nearby high-poverty schools like Pilot Elementary, Fair Grove Elementary, Fairview Elementary, Liberty Drive Elementary, and Oak Hill Elementary all rank considerably lower. Even Friendship Elementary, the highest-ranked local school, serves a far wealthier population (43% free-lunch eligibility) — yet Hasty's 5th graders beat Friendship in math, 87.7% to 74.2%.

Academics are strongest in math and science. Fifth-grade math proficiency (87.7%) outstrips the state by roughly 25 points, fifth-grade science (80.8%) tops both district and state averages, and fifth-grade reading (63.0%) is above both as well. Scores vary noticeably by grade and cohort, though: fourth-grade math fell to 53.1% in 2025–2026, below state and district averages. Attendance is a major strength. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 29.9% in 2021–2022 to just 11.0% in 2024–2025, matching the district average and running at less than half the statewide rate. By contrast, Oak Hill Elementary and Kirkman Park Elementary report chronic absenteeism around 38–40%.

Hasty also posts strong results for student groups that often face achievement gaps. Low-income students, Hispanic students, and students receiving special education services have each earned 3-to-5-star ratings in statewide subgroup rankings for three consecutive years; low-income students reached the 93rd percentile in 2024–2025. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is lower than most nearby schools. The biggest caveat is inconsistency from grade to grade and year to year, which suggests individual cohorts and classrooms can vary. Overall, though, Hasty is a high-poverty school achieving results comparable to far wealthier schools — a combination that makes it well worth a close look for parents exploring elementary options in the Thomasville area.
