Summary

Vandalia Elementary is a small pre-K through grade 5 school in Greensboro, NC, serving about 257 students in one of the highest-poverty attendance zones in Guilford County Schools, where 96.5% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25. The school has climbed from the 5th percentile in 2021-22 to about the 26th percentile in 2025-26, though scores remain below state and most district averages. The district itself ranks in the 39th percentile among North Carolina districts, useful context for reading Vandalia's results.

The most striking pattern in the test data is the sharp decline between 3rd and 5th grade. In 2025-26, 3rd-grade reading proficiency reached 52.6% — above the district average — and 3rd-grade math nearly matched it. By 5th grade, math proficiency had fallen to 32.4%, far below the 62.9% statewide rate, and science showed a similarly large gap. The pattern repeated in earlier years, so students' early gains do not appear to be lasting. There are relative bright spots: compared with the same groups statewide, African American students have ranked at or above the school's overall percentile in recent years, and Hispanic students did the same in the most recent year reported.

Attendance remains the most urgent red flag. Vandalia's chronic absenteeism rate was 37.8% in 2024-25 — far above the state's 24.2% — and has remained near 40% for the past three school years. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels prove change is possible: Bluford Elementary and David D Jones Elementary both serve student bodies where more than 98% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet their chronic absenteeism rates are roughly half of Vandalia's, and their state rankings are substantially higher. Class size is another difference: Vandalia's student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is higher than at several stronger nearby peers. Stabilizing attendance and devoting added support to 4th- and 5th-grade math and science are therefore the most likely next steps.
