Better than 91% of North Carolina elementary schools

Summary

Lake Norman Elementary is a PK–5 public school in the Mooresville, NC area that serves 641 students as part of the Iredell-Statesville Schools district. The school is a consistent academic standout, placing in the 91st percentile of North Carolina elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating for the third time in the last four years.

This is not a school where one subject shines and others lag. Math is the clear signature strength—roughly 85 to 90 percent of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are proficient, which is 20 to 28 points above the state average. Reading and science are also strong, with proficiency rates 11 to 18 points above state averages. Parents comparing local options will find Lake Norman trails only Woodland Heights Elementary in overall rank. Lake Norman outpaces other nearby schools like Coddle Creek Elementary, Lakeshore Elementary, and Shepherd Elementary by hundreds of places in statewide standings.

Attendance is another notable strength. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from about 25 percent during the 2021-22 school year to just 6 percent in 2024-25—a rate far below the district’s 19.9 percent and the state’s 24.2 percent. The school also delivers impressive results for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for that group. For families seeking a high-performing elementary school with strong math achievement, consistent attendance, and reliable results across student groups, Lake Norman Elementary is an excellent option.

My Daughter has only been in LNE for one year. This whole year has been an educational loss for her. To many students in classes. 33 Students to 1 teacher. Learned nothing. She will be going to a charter school next year. Close Quote
