Summary

Vienna Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Pfafftown, North Carolina, serving about 755 students in the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district. For most of the past decade, it has ranked in the 90th–94th percentile statewide. In the most recent year, the school earned 4 stars and ranked 208th of about 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools — the 86th percentile — still a strong result, if slightly below its own high standard.

What sets Vienna apart from many nearby schools begins with attendance. Fewer than 12% of students are chronically absent, compared with about 34% districtwide and 24% statewide. Only Sherwood Forest Elementary posts a lower chronic absenteeism rate nearby. Test scores are strong, too: third-grade math proficiency was 84%, third-grade reading 76%, and fifth-grade science 78% — roughly 10–20 points above district and state averages in every subject. Vienna also achieves these results on relatively lean funding, spending less per student than every comparable nearby elementary school in the available data.

Among nearby schools, Vienna sits in a strong second tier. Lewisville Elementary (95th) and Meadowlark Elementary (92nd) are close company, as are Southwest Elementary (89th) and Jefferson Elementary (87th), while all sit well above Old Richmond Elementary, Speas Elementary, South Fork Elementary, and Old Town Elementary. Vienna enrolls more students than most of these peers, which makes its strong attendance and academic record especially notable. One thing worth watching: the latest year saw a mild dip in fourth- and fifth-grade reading and math even as third-grade reading improved. That may simply reflect cohort differences, but it is the first time in over a decade Vienna has slipped below the 90th percentile. With consistently low chronic absenteeism and strong historical results for low-income students and students receiving special education services, Vienna remains a dependable, high-performing public school for Pfafftown families.
