Summary

Jamesville Elementary is a small school in Jamesville, NC, serving roughly 217 students in grades PK–5 as part of Martin County Schools. Nearly all students (98.6%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community. The school sits in northeastern North Carolina and has a student-teacher ratio around 15:1.

Academically, Jamesville is a middle-of-the-pack school that has shown steady bright spots. In 4th grade reading, for example, 68.8% of students were proficient, beating the state average of 57.7% and far exceeding Rodgers Elementary (50.0%). Fifth grade math and science also stand out, with science proficiency (66.7%) well above both the district and nearby South Creek Elementary (56.5%). However, 3rd grade reading is a persistent weakness — only 40% were proficient compared to 55.6% statewide. This gap of roughly 29 points between 3rd and 4th grade reading suggests that early literacy is area where the school struggles, even as older students perform well.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that Jamesville’s performance resembles a roller coaster. The school ranked in the 77th percentile statewide in 2024–25, then fell to the 49th percentile in 2025–26. This volatility is likely amplified by small class sizes, where a handful of students can shift results. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 27.3%, above the state average, and per-pupil spending is the highest in the region at $13,807 — yet that spending does not always translate into top rankings. A neighboring school like Williamston Primary spends slightly less and ranks far higher (67th in the state), while Windsor Elementary is just below Jamesville overall. Ultimately, Jamesville can deliver strong results in specific grades and subjects, but families should expect year-to-year swings rather than a steady trend.
