Summary

Coddle Creek Elementary is a PK–5 school in Mooresville, NC, serving 808 students in the Iredell-Statesville Schools district. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 409th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, placing it in the 73rd percentile statewide—comfortably above its district's mid-pack position. Academically, Coddle Creek consistently outperforms both district and state proficiency averages in nearly every grade and subject, with a free and reduced lunch rate of 29.1% and chronic absenteeism at 14.2%, well below the state's 24.2%.

Coddle Creek's strongest results come in 3rd grade, where reading proficiency (74.8%) exceeds nearby Lake Norman Elementary (70.0) and J.V. Washam Elementary (73.8). By 5th grade, however, the picture changes: 5th grade math proficiency stands at 67.4%, versus 90.1% at Davidson Elementary and 90.5% at Lake Norman, and Coddle Creek also trails East Mooresville Intermediate (77.9%) though it remains ahead of Mooresville Intermediate (69.2%). This pattern suggests strong early elementary instruction that loses momentum in grades 4–5—the school's clearest opportunity for improvement.

The school also posts notable subgroup strengths. English Language Learners have ranked in the 80th and 92nd percentiles statewide in recent years, and Special Education students improved dramatically from the 21st to the 78th percentile over two years. Chronic absenteeism has declined steadily from 24.2% in 2021–22 to 14.2% in 2024–25. Coddle Creek spends roughly $7,589 per pupil—less than every nearby school with available data—yet still produces above-average outcomes, pointing to efficient resource use. While it is no longer the top-100 school it was in 2020–21, Coddle Creek remains a solidly above-average choice in a region full of exceptionally strong elementary schools.

What people are saying

This school is amazing with the kids. I'm not saying that every kid there is perfect. Of course, every school is going to have their pros and cons, their good students, and troublesome ones too. When a student distracted the class, they were punished, as to what they did. Of course, there were special needs children. They weren't punished for what they couldn't help, but they weren't left to go completely crazy, and do whatever they wanted, either. The teachers at this school are amazing, simply wonderful at their jobs. They shine uniquely at their different ways of teaching, and are always able to help kids blossom in their education. Mr. Foster is a wonderful, wonderful principal. As of a review posted before this one, a parent explains how Mr. Foster hired a new teacher after winter break. Yes, but it is not his fault. It took at least to months to get through to the district to talk over the fact that they needed a new teacher because of the large amount of kids in the 5th grade. Also, the teacher was hired at the end of November/beginning of December, not after winter break. Mr. Foster is just fine at decision making, and well deserves his job. This school provides an eBOB team (Elementary Battle of the Books, 4th and 5th grade), a robotics club (4th and 5th grade), and more. This is an amazing school, and I highly reccomend it. You and your child will love it here, they are very welcome and happy to meet new students! Close Quote

This was my school from K-5. I honestly would not regret a day or teacher. I will admit there was one teacher that I was not satisfied with, personally. I see that as just a bump in the road, that can just make you stronger. I will agree that Mr. Foster does not smile much, but is a great man. At CCE you get to know great people and great memories are made. One of my personal favorites was EBOB (Elementary Battle of the Books) my team I was on had placed first in district and eighth in regional. I was actually apart of the 5th grade swap (I'll call it that for times sake) and I do agree that it was a bit award, all of a sudden being without some classmates but being adaptable is fine. In my own opinion. It did take a lot longer, but in the end a great teacher was hired. Close Quote

Principle Foster is the worst decision maker. 5th graders were told at the begining of the school year that some of them would be changing homerooms when a new teacher was hired. They spent half the year with 30 kids in the class. The new teacher was hired and changes were made after Christmas break! How can you bond with your teacher with this kind of distraction cloud hanging over you? Also,I had an issue with a teacher and had to contact Mr. Foster about 10 times before he could resolve the problem. Then he never followed up. He never smiles, but why should he? Close Quote
