Summary

Angier Elementary, located in Angier, NC, serves 376 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of Harnett County Schools, which currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks 173rd out of 246 districts in North Carolina. The school faces significant challenges related to poverty and attendance. In the 2024-2025 school year, a striking 99.2% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism stands at 26.9%, matching the Harnett district average but exceeding the state average of 24.2%, meaning about one in four students misses a concerning number of school days.

Academically, Angier Elementary is ranked 1,368th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 8% of the state in the 2025-2026 ranking. Test scores trail both the district and state in every grade and subject. For example, 5th grade reading proficiency is just 28.4% compared to the state's 55.3%, and 4th grade math proficiency sits at 35.1% versus 61.4% statewide. There are some relative bright spots: 3rd grade math (54.9%) and 5th grade science (52.6%) are the school's highest proficiency rates. However, reading proficiency across all grades remains critically low and is the most urgent area needing intervention.

Compared to nearby schools, Angier's performance stands in stark contrast. Higher-performing Wake County schools like Willow Springs, South Lakes, and Fuquay-Varina Elementary are within 7 miles, yet serve far fewer low-income students (26% to 36% FRPL) and have lower chronic absenteeism (13% to 18%). Closer to home, North Harnett Primary, which feeds into Angier, shares nearly identical demographics (99.1% FRPL), suggesting challenges are entrenched before 3rd grade. Even within Harnett County, LaFayette Year-Round and Northwest Harnett Elementary achieve far higher rankings while serving more affluent populations. Encouragingly, Angier has shown recent signs of improvement, climbing from the 3rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 8th percentile in 2025-2026, with notable gains in 3rd grade math and science, though the school still has substantial progress to make.
