Summary

Eno Valley Elementary is a PK–5 school in Durham, NC, serving 440 students in the Durham Public Schools district. Nearly all of its students (99.3%–99.5%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school ranks 970th of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools — the 35th percentile (2 stars) — below the state midpoint but far from its past: in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, Eno Valley sat at the 2nd and 9th percentiles. Over the last three reported years, its ranking has climbed from the 14th to the 17th to the 35th percentile.

Recent results show real, if uneven, progress. Special education students jumped from the 3rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 90th percentile in the latest results, while Hispanic students rose to the 73rd percentile and English learners reached the 68th percentile. Third grade reading proficiency doubled in two years, from 28.6% to 53.4%, and third grade math rose from 48.2% to 62.1%. Fifth grade is close to the district in reading and math, but fifth grade science (54.8%) trails Durham Public Schools by about 8 points. Fourth grade math is the biggest soft spot — 7.5 points below the district. Female students (54th percentile) now far outperform male students (20th percentile), a gap that may warrant targeted support.

The biggest barrier sits outside the classroom: attendance. Eno Valley’s chronic absenteeism rate was 46.3% in 2024–2025 — the highest among nearby elementary schools, roughly 10 points above the Durham Public Schools average and almost double the 24.2% statewide rate. Absenteeism has stayed between 46% and 61% every year since 2020–2021. Easley Elementary, one mile away, serves a nearly identical high-poverty population yet posts a 16.9% chronic absenteeism rate and ranks at the 78th percentile statewide — evidence that high poverty does not have to mean low achievement. The school also spends less per student ($11,447) than most nearby schools. The bottom line: Eno Valley is no longer severely underperforming, and its recent gains are real. But attendance and extending those gains to male students and other groups still below average will determine how far it can go.

The school is a lot farther behind than other schools in the area. It’s not a very diverse school. DPS has forgotten this school. Close Quote
