Summary

Beulaville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Beulaville, North Carolina, with 857 students. It is part of the Duplin County Schools district, which is ranked 196 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beulaville Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools over the past 10 years, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time period. The school's test scores consistently underperform the Duplin County Schools district and the state of North Carolina across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 49.5% compared to 64.1% for the state, and its 8th grade reading proficiency rate was 42.7% compared to 54.2% for the state.

Despite spending more per student ($11,549 in 2018-2019) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio (ranging from 15.1 to 17.4 over the past few years), Beulaville Elementary has struggled to improve student outcomes. When compared to nearby schools in the Onslow County, Jones County, and Lenoir County school districts, Beulaville Elementary is an outlier in terms of its consistently low performance, even among schools with high percentages of low-income students.
