Summary

Union Hill Elementary is a K–5 school in High Point, NC, serving 495 students in the Guilford County Schools district, where nearly all students (99.4%) come from low-income households. The school's state ranking has fallen sharply in the most recent year, dropping from the 30th percentile to the 10th percentile, leaving it at 1,342 out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools.

Academically, Union Hill trails district and state averages in every tested subject. Reading is the most urgent concern, especially third grade, where only about 30% of students are proficient—a 26-point gap from the state average. Math proficiency is stronger but still below state norms, hovering around 43–50% across grades. A persistent gap between math and reading suggests early literacy instruction is the school's biggest challenge. One bright spot: fifth-grade science has been a relative strength, exceeding state averages in two of the past four years, which shows the school is capable of strong results in some areas. Chronic absenteeism is another major obstacle, with 38.9% of students missing enough school to be considered chronically absent—well above both the district (29.2%) and state (24.2%) rates.

Comparisons to nearby schools make the picture clearer. Union Hill serves a population nearly identical in poverty level to Millis Road Elementary (both above 99% free/reduced lunch), yet Millis Road ranks at the 63rd percentile with only 10.5% chronic absenteeism. Similarly strong neighbors include Jamestown Elementary (48th percentile) and Johnson Street Global Studies (47th percentile). Union Hill instead ranks alongside the lowest-performing nearby schools such as Allen Jay Elementary (15th percentile) and Parkview Village Elementary (13th percentile). The broad decline across all student groups and subjects in the latest year signals a systemic setback, but the school's past success in science and with specific subgroups, including Hispanic students and English language learners, points to strengths it can build on to improve.
