Summary

Stovall-Shaw Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Stovall, NC, serving 336 students through Granville County Schools, where nearly all students (99.11%) come from low-income households. The school's most striking positive is attendance: only 22.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024-25, which is far better than the Granville County district average of 40.9% and even slightly below the state average of 24.2%. This represents steady improvement over the past several years.

Academically, Stovall-Shaw shows strengths in early-grade math and special education. Third-grade math proficiency (60%) is close to the state average and above the district, with even stronger results in prior years. Moreover, the school's special education students ranked in the 84th percentile statewide (4 stars) in 2025-26, making it one of the most effective programs in the region. However, upper-elementary reading and science are clear weak points, with 5th-grade reading proficiency (34.8%) lagging far behind the state (55.3%) and 5th-grade science (50%) also below the state average (67.7%). Gifted/talented students have ranked in the bottom 1-4% statewide for three consecutive years, suggesting the school's interventions may be concentrated heavily on the lower end of the achievement spectrum. With small grade cohorts, proficiency rates can swing significantly from year to year based on just a handful of students.

Compared with other local elementary schools, Stovall-Shaw sits in the lower-middle range statewide (24th percentile), but it outperforms several nearby peers with similar poverty levels. It ranks above West Oxford, E M Rollins, Dabney, and Pinkston Street, while placing just below C.G. Credle, E O Young Junior, Aycock, and New Hope. Unlike West Oxford, which has a 42.3% chronic absenteeism rate, Stovall-Shaw's strong attendance and favorable 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio give it structural advantages that could translate into better outcomes, especially if the school can improve literacy and science instruction in grades 4-5.
