of 778 North Carolina Middle Schools

Better than 91% of North Carolina middle schools

Summary

Oakwood Middle IB School is a public middle school in Statesville, NC, serving 516 students in grades 6–8 within the Iredell-Statesville Schools district. Despite serving a student population where nearly 99% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Oakwood is an academic standout, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 91st percentile of North Carolina middle schools in 2025–26. Its proficiency rates run about 20 percentage points above the district and state averages in both math and reading, with 8th grade science proficiency reaching nearly 86%.

Compared with nearby middle schools, Oakwood's results are exceptional. The closest school, Third Creek Middle, is just 2.7 miles away and serves a nearly identical high-poverty population—yet Oakwood posts math proficiency of 75.5% versus Third Creek's 25.5%, and reading proficiency of 76.5% versus 23.0%. Other economically similar schools like North Iredell Middle, East Iredell Middle, Troutman Middle, and West Iredell Middle also trail far behind. Only The Brawley School, a more affluent school 14 miles away, posts higher overall scores—but Oakwood has the same exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate (6.5% vs. 6.3%), a remarkable feat for a school with such a high poverty rate.

Oakwood consistently ranks among the top 5% of North Carolina middle schools for low-income students, and Hispanic students also perform in the 93rd percentile statewide. Attendance is likely a key driver of success: Oakwood's chronic absenteeism is far below the district average of 19.9% and neighboring high-poverty schools that often exceed 20–30%. The school's International Baccalaureate designation may attract motivated families, but the high poverty rate shows Oakwood is not economically exclusive. This combination of strong academics, low absenteeism, and impressive results for disadvantaged students makes Oakwood a compelling choice for families in the Statesville area.
