Summary

Scotts Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Statesville, NC, serving 283 students in the Iredell-Statesville Schools district. The school serves a student body where nearly all children (about 99%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, placing it in the same high-poverty category as most of its neighbors. Despite that challenge, Scotts sits almost exactly at the statewide middle — ranking 753rd out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, or the 50th percentile, with a 2-star rating.

Where Scotts really stands out is in classroom size: its 11.3 student-teacher ratio is the lowest among all nearby elementary schools. Academically, the school’s brightest spots are 5th grade math (72.5% proficient, above district and state averages) and 5th grade science (78.4% proficient, far above the state). Within the district, Central Elementary and Sharon Elementary post stronger overall results, but Scotts outperforms most other nearby schools from different districts, including Stony Point Elementary, N B Mills Elementary, and Success Institute Charter.

The clearest area of concern is reading. By 4th grade, only 40.9% of students are proficient — nearly 17 points below the state — and 5th grade reading lags as well. Chronic absenteeism (19.8%) is better than the state average but noticeably higher than that of higher-performing nearby schools like Central and Sharon, making attendance a likely lever for improvement. Female students have also pulled ahead of male students in statewide subgroup rankings in recent years. Overall, Scotts is a mid-tier school doing a solid job given its poverty profile, with small classes and genuinely strong upper-grade math and science.
