Summary

GE Massey Elementary is a public elementary school in Lincolnton, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 370 students. The school is part of the Lincoln County Schools district, which is ranked 68 out of 242 districts in the state.

GE Massey Elementary has seen fluctuating academic performance, with a 1-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year, ranking 1070 out of 1490 North Carolina elementary schools. While the school excels in 3rd grade mathematics, outperforming the district and state averages, it struggles in other grade levels and subject areas, particularly in reading and science. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as African American and Hispanic students, performing better than the state averages, while others, like white students and those with low socioeconomic status, have struggled.

The school's extremely high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 99% in recent years, suggests a predominantly low-income student population, which likely plays a significant role in the school's academic performance. Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Union Elementary, Pumpkin Center Intermediate, and Battleground Elementary, GE Massey Elementary has consistently underperformed, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the school.
