Summary

Long Mill Elementary is a public PK-5 school in Youngsville, NC, serving 433 students in the Franklin County Schools district, and in 2025-2026 it earned a 3-star rating by ranking in the 55th percentile of North Carolina elementary schools — a meaningful bounce-back from the prior year's 43rd-percentile showing.

The good news for parents is that Long Mill's early-grade results are a genuine strength. Third graders posted math proficiency of 78.3% and reading proficiency of 65.0%, both above the North Carolina state average and above the Wake County Schools district average in 3rd grade math — especially notable since 99% of Long Mill students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's chronic absenteeism also improved sharply, dropping from 24.6% to 18.6%, which is better than the state average of 24.2%. Low-income students at Long Mill performed at the 57th percentile statewide, and recent gains have been broad-based across student groups.

The biggest concern is a steep 5th-grade drop-off. Fifth grade reading proficiency was just 41.4% versus 55.3% statewide, and 5th grade science lagged by roughly nine points. That pattern stands out when compared with nearby schools serving similar populations: Royal Elementary posted 5th grade science proficiency of 90.4% compared with Long Mill's 58.6%, and Youngsville Elementary, just 2.5 miles away, outperformed Long Mill in every 5th-grade subject. Long Mill's statewide ranking has also been volatile, swinging from the 73rd percentile in 2022-2023 down to the 43rd percentile in 2024-2025 and back up to 55th this year. Sustaining that momentum into the upper grades is the key to Long Mill's future.
