Summary

McGee's Crossroads Elementary in Angier, NC, serves roughly 950 students in grades PK–5 as part of Johnston County Public Schools. The school currently holds a solidly middle-of-the-pack profile, ranking in the 61st percentile statewide with a 3-star rating—a dependable option that has shown meaningful improvement from a difficult stretch in the late 2010s, even as its overall rank has slipped slightly over the last three years from a recent peak at the 71st percentile.

One of the school's standout strengths is attendance. Just 12.6% of students were chronically absent in the most recent school year—a remarkable figure that is roughly half the district rate and well below the state rate. This is especially notable given that nearly all students at McGee's Crossroads (99.68%) come from economically disadvantaged households. The school's attendance is also among the best when compared with nearby schools, far outpacing West Smithfield Elementary, where nearly 39% of students are chronically absent.

Academically, McGee's Crossroads shows a clear bright spot in 5th grade, where math and science proficiency rates exceed both district and state averages, and where it outperforms nearby schools like Dixon Road Elementary, Benson Elementary, and Polenta Elementary in 5th grade math. The school also achieves notably strong outcomes for its African American students, who perform at the 67th percentile statewide for that subgroup. However, parents should be aware of a few watch items: 4th grade reading and math trail district averages, and performance among English Language Learner students has declined sharply over the past three years—a trend worth investigating.
