Summary

Beulaville Elementary, located in Beulaville, North Carolina, serves roughly 877 students in grades PK-8 within Duplin County Schools, a district ranked in the 18th percentile statewide. The school itself carries a 1-star state rating and currently sits at the 16th percentile overall, which places it among the lower-performing schools in North Carolina, though it has climbed modestly from an 11th-percentile low point in 2023-24.

The most striking concern is chronic absenteeism. Nearly 29% of Beulaville students were chronically absent in 2024-25, far above the Duplin County average of 18.9% and the statewide average of 24.2%. Every listed nearby elementary school has a lower absenteeism rate, including Chinquapin Elementary, just 6.9 miles away, which serves a similarly high-poverty population (99.4% free/reduced lunch) yet reports only 15.4% chronic absenteeism and ranks higher at the 25th percentile. Beulaville also struggles to move outcomes for its student subgroups; special education students rank in the bottom 1% of schools statewide, and outcomes for Hispanic, African American, and low-income students all sit below the 12th percentile.

There are genuine bright spots, however. Beulaville's 8th-grade math proficiency (53.3%) essentially matches the statewide average, and 5th-grade math is strong relative to the district. Overall, the school's average math proficiency (46.2%) and reading proficiency (41.7%) actually exceed the Duplin County district averages, even though both trail North Carolina by roughly 14-15 points. Notably, Beulaville spends about $11,549 per student, higher than some nearby schools like Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary ($8,559), yet outcomes remain a challenge. These factors suggest that reducing absenteeism and strengthening support for specific student groups may offer the most meaningful path forward.
