Summary

Jamestown Elementary is a PK–5 school in Jamestown, NC, within Guilford County Schools, serving 453 students in a community where nearly all families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the school sits near the middle of North Carolina elementary schools, ranking in the 48th percentile with a 2-star rating in the most recent year.

Jamestown has real strengths in upper-elementary math and science. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency reached 75.8% and science 73.8%, both above district and state averages. However, 3rd-grade reading is the clearest concern, with proficiency at 40.3% — well below the district’s 51.3% and the state’s 55.6%. This early-literacy gap has persisted for four years, while 5th-grade reading sits much closer to state averages. In the local area, Jamestown is the fourth-highest performer among nearby schools, trailing Southwest Elementary, Florence Elementary, and Millis Road Elementary, but it clearly outperforms several other Guilford County elementaries with similar student populations.

One of the most useful comparisons is with Millis Road Elementary, located just 1.5 miles away. The two schools are nearly identical in size and poverty rate, yet Millis Road ranks in the 63rd percentile while Jamestown ranks in the 48th — evidence that the demographic profile does not set the ceiling. Jamestown’s attendance is a positive differentiator: chronic absenteeism is 23.4%, better than the district's 29.2% and lower than most nearby high-poverty schools. Subgroup results are mixed, with standout success for Hispanic students (97th percentile statewide) but a sharp recent drop for special education students. Overall, Jamestown is a solid mid-tier school with clear room to grow, especially in early reading.
