Summary

Konnoak Elementary is a PK–5 traditional school in southeast Winston-Salem, part of Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools, serving about 600 students with nearly all (99.5%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school overall holds a 1-star state rating and ranks in the bottom fifth of North Carolina elementary schools, but the full picture is far more nuanced than that single rating suggests.

Within its neighborhood cluster, Konnoak sits squarely in the middle. It clearly outpaces the lowest-performing schools nearby: fifth-grade reading proficiency is 45.1%, compared with Easton Elementary School's 18.7%, and third-grade math proficiency is 48.1% versus Cook Literacy Model School's 13%. At the same time, similar-poverty neighbors show what is possible. Diggs-Latham Elementary reaches 52.9% in third-grade reading while Konnoak posts 34%, and Brunson Elementary hits 69.9% in fifth-grade science compared with Konnoak's 51.2%.

Reading is Konnoak's biggest academic hurdle, especially in early grades. Yet some subgroups perform remarkably well: African American students rank at the 61st percentile statewide among schools serving that subgroup, gifted students rank in the 96th percentile, and English learners sit near the statewide median. Chronic absenteeism is 34.2%, roughly ten points above the state rate of 24.2%, but well below Cook's 52.7%. Per-pupil spending is $10,429, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.3 to 1. In short, Konnoak is not easily summed up — it has genuine strengths to build on and clear literacy gaps to close.

As a parent of a special education child, I have seen the effort and work my child's teachers put in and have been really impressed overall. They now have a brand new school starting the 2019-2020 school year. I am excited for my child to continue to attend school here. Close Quote
