Summary

Cornatzer Elementary is a PK–5 school in Mocksville, NC, serving 408 students as part of Davie County Schools. The school holds a 3-star rating, ranking 616th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools (59th percentile) — a strong rebound from the prior year, when it ranked at the 38th percentile with 2 stars. Among the six Davie County elementary schools in this comparison, Cornatzer now sits second, behind Shady Grove Elementary (87th percentile) and ahead of Pinebrook Elementary (48th), Mocksville Elementary (41st), Cooleemee Elementary (40th), and William R Davie Elementary (36th).

Early-grade academics are the school's clearest strength. Third-grade math proficiency is 79.6% — far above the district's 63.3% and the state's 66.4% — and third-grade reading (55.6%) matches the state average while exceeding the district's 47.0%. Fourth-grade math and reading also beat district averages. The challenge is 5th grade: reading proficiency is just 47.7%, well below the state's 55.3%, and math (60.0%) trails as well. This upper-elementary drop-off, especially in reading, is the school's most pressing concern.

Cornatzer's 2025-2026 subgroup results are notably strong: Hispanic, gifted, low-income, and special education students all rank at or above the 72nd percentile statewide. The school serves a population with real economic need — 61.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — yet it outperforms several nearby schools with comparable poverty rates. Chronic absenteeism has been cut from 32.3% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2024-2025, now below the state average (24.2%) and just under the county's 18.5%, though Shady Grove Elementary (10.4%) and Pinebrook Elementary (12.5%) lead the area in attendance. Cornatzer also spends more per pupil ($11,120) than its neighboring elementaries. Overall, this is a school in the middle of a promising recovery — with strong early grades, improving attendance, and standout outcomes for several student groups, while 5th-grade reading remains the key area to watch.
