Summary

Clemmons Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in the suburban community of Clemmons, NC, serving 839 students and part of the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district. For years, Clemmons has been one of North Carolina's top elementary schools, ranking in the 93rd–94th percentile statewide between 2022 and 2025 and earning 5-star ratings. The most recent 2025-2026 results dipped to the 87th percentile (4 stars), but the school still ranks 193rd out of roughly 1,500 elementary schools—far stronger than most schools in its district. It sits in a competitive cluster that includes Lewisville Elementary, Meadowlark Elementary, and Southwest Elementary, all of which currently rank somewhat higher, while other nearby schools like Ward Elementary and Bolton Elementary lag significantly behind.

Academically, Clemmons posts proficiency rates that are dramatically above district and state averages. In math, for example, roughly 82% of Clemmons students in grades 3–5 are proficient, versus about 61% for the district and 64% statewide. Reading proficiency is strong in grades 3 and 4, though 5th-grade reading fell to 60.6% in the latest year, down from about 80% the year before. The school also stands out for attendance: chronic absenteeism is just 11.9%, compared to 33.6% across the district and roughly 30–36% at nearby schools like South Fork Elementary, Ward Elementary, and Bolton Elementary.

Clemmons achieves these results while spending less than most neighbors—about $8,630 per student in the most recent available spending data (2018-2019), compared to over $12,000 at Bolton Elementary and South Fork Elementary. It also maintains a 16:1 student-teacher ratio while serving one of the largest elementary enrollments in the area. The 2025-2026 ranking dip appears tied to the 5th-grade cohort, especially in reading and science, rather than a school-wide problem, since 3rd- and 4th-grade results remain strong. That said, in a market with so many excellent nearby options, it is a trend parents will want to watch. Overall, Clemmons remains a highly effective school delivering excellent outcomes for its students despite sitting within a low-rated district.
