Summary

Monticello-Brown Summit Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Browns Summit, North Carolina, serving 291 students within Guilford County Schools, where nearly all students (98.97%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this high-poverty profile, the school has climbed from the 18th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 47th percentile in its most recent statewide ranking—now placing near the middle of North Carolina elementary schools. Among six nearby Guilford County elementary schools with similarly extreme poverty rates—Reedy Fork Elementary, Brightwood Elementary, Ronald E. McNair Elementary, Madison Elementary, and McLeansville Elementary—Monticello-Brown Summit is the clear leader, with the next closest peer at the 29th percentile.

The school's strongest academic results come in the early grades. Fourth grade math proficiency reached 71.4%, well above the district average of 57.0% and the state's 61.4%, while third grade reading has climbed from 29.3% to 57.9% over two years. African American students and special education students have also posted top-quartile subgroup performances in recent state rankings, and the school has achieved these results while most comparable high-poverty schools in the area remain in the bottom 10–30% statewide.

The clearest vulnerability is fifth grade, where math and science scores lag district and state averages by roughly 6 to 11 percentage points—a pattern that has persisted across multiple years and student cohorts. Chronic absenteeism, at 30.7%, has improved steadily but still exceeds district (29.2%) and state (24.2%) rates. By contrast, Northern Guilford Elementary, just a few miles away, serves a student body with only 18% poverty and posts 96th-percentile scores. Monticello-Brown Summit is not yet a high-achieving school in absolute terms, but its sustained upward trajectory suggests steady academic gains are achievable even amid concentrated poverty and attendance challenges.

Saturday, April 7, 2018

Wonderful school with excellent teachers, fantastic administration. So friendly and the facilities are sparkling clean. There is a nice amount of parental involvement. The kids are lovely and motivated learners. Mr. Scott starts each day with an enthusiastic announcement, broadcast from various classrooms, which starts each day off with a smile. Close Quote
