Summary

Ceasar Cone Elementary is a Pre-K through 5th grade school in Greensboro, NC, serving about 412 students as part of Guilford County Schools. On the latest state tests, the school ranks in the 11th percentile among North Carolina elementary schools and holds a one-star rating, with every subject and grade tested below both the district and state averages. For example, 4th grade math proficiency is 30.1% compared with the state's 61.4%, and 3rd grade reading proficiency is 37.7% versus the state's 55.6%. While still low, this reflects real progress from recent years when Ceasar Cone typically ranked in the bottom 1–3 percentile statewide.

Nearby schools show that poverty alone does not determine outcomes. General Greene Elementary, just 2.8 miles away, serves a nearly identical student population yet ranks in the 77th percentile and earns a four-star rating. In 3rd grade math, 88.2% of General Greene students are proficient versus 37.7% at Ceasar Cone. Chronic absenteeism is a clear separator: 40.0% of Ceasar Cone students are chronically absent, compared with 8.8% at General Greene and 18.6% at Guilford Preparatory Academy. Spending also does not explain the gap, since Ceasar Cone invests $12,646 per student, well above General Greene's $9,037.

There are pockets of strength to build on. English Learner students at Ceasar Cone have recently scored near or above the statewide median for that subgroup, and 5th grade is a relative bright spot — science proficiency is 57.7%, nearly matching the district's 62.0%. The most pressing priorities are lower-grade math and reading, outcomes for special education students, and chronic absenteeism, which deserves attention as an academic strategy given the success of nearby schools serving similar families.
