Summary

Inborden Elementary S.T.E.A.M. Academy is a small PK–5 school in Enfield, NC, serving about 225 students as part of Halifax County Schools. While the school's statewide ranking places it in the 25th percentile, it is the strongest-performing elementary school among its immediate Halifax County peers.

Academically, Inborden stands out within its district for several reasons. It exceeded the Halifax County Schools average in every tested grade and subject in the most recent year, and its 3rd grade students met or nearly met state averages in reading and math — an unusual achievement for a school in this area. Third-grade math proficiency rose from 40.9% to 66.7% since 2022-2023, with similar gains in other subjects, making steady improvement a notable theme. The school also earns a much stronger state rating for its African American students (55th percentile, 3 stars) than for its student body overall. Smaller class sizes and higher per-pupil spending than nearby Nash County Public Schools provide additional context for parents comparing options.

The main concerns center on upper-elementary grades and attendance. While 3rd grade scores align with state averages, 4th and 5th grade results fall well behind state benchmarks, and recent scores slipped slightly after several years of gains. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from 64.1% to 38.3%, remains well above the state average of 24.2% and is a key risk factor. Comparisons with similar high-poverty schools like Red Oak Elementary and Benvenue Elementary in Nash County, which post stronger results with lower absenteeism, suggest that focused work on attendance and upper-elementary reading and math could help Inborden continue its upward trajectory.
