Summary

Stocks Elementary is a public elementary school in Tarboro, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 395 students. The school is part of the Edgecombe County Public Schools district, which is ranked 218 out of 242 districts in the state.

Academically, Stocks Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state standardized tests compared to state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 28.6% (5th grade) to 47.8% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 59.3% (5th grade) and 64.1% (3rd grade). Similarly, the school's Reading proficiency rates ranged from 25.4% (3rd grade) to 32.8% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 46.7% (3rd grade) and 52.9% (5th grade).

Compared to nearby schools, such as G.W. Carver Elementary and Martin Millennium Academy, Stocks Elementary generally performs worse academically. The school's extremely high percentage of students from low-income families (99.24%) likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the school, and the overall quality of schools in the Edgecombe County Public Schools district appears to be quite low, with the district ranked 218 out of 242 in the state.
