Summary

Shadybrook Elementary is a small PK–5 school in High Point, NC, serving 319 students in Guilford County Schools, a district where 99% of the student body qualifies for free/reduced lunch. In the latest statewide ranking, Shadybrook placed 717th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars) — a solid outcome given its district context and the very high poverty level it serves. The school's recent history shows meaningful fluctuation: it peaked at the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024 before settling at the 67th and then 52nd percentile in the two years that followed.

Where Shadybrook genuinely shines is in the upper grades. Its 4th-grade math proficiency (70%) and 5th-grade math proficiency (64.7%) both beat district and state averages, and 5th-grade science (68.6%) is nearly tied with Florence Elementary and well above the district. Among nearby high-poverty schools, Shadybrook ranks ahead of most — including Johnson Street Global Studies, Kirkman Park, Montlieu Academy, Oak View, Parkview Village, Northwood, and Fairview — with only Southwest Elementary (92nd percentile) and Florence (70th percentile) clearly outperforming it. Attendance is another bright spot: Shadybrook's 21.4% chronic absenteeism rate is well below the district rate of 29.2% and even better than the statewide 24.2%, a dramatic improvement from its 45.5% pandemic-era peak.

SchoolDigger's subgroup effectiveness rankings show that Hispanic students, special education students, and low-income students at Shadybrook all score above the statewide median — a strong signal that the school is serving its population well. One of the most striking comparisons is with Oak View Elementary, located just 0.61 miles away and serving nearly identical economic demographics. Shadybrook ranks far higher (52nd vs. 22nd percentile), has lower chronic absenteeism, and substantially better proficiency in nearly every subject. The school's softer spot is 3rd-grade reading (44.2% vs. 55.6% statewide), though strong 4th-grade results suggest students catch up in later grades. Overall, Shadybrook is a solid, effective neighborhood school delivering strong results amid significant challenges.
