Better than 16% of North Carolina elementary schools

Summary

South Creek Elementary is a PK–5 school in Robersonville, NC, serving about 337 students as part of Martin County Schools in rural eastern North Carolina.

The school currently sits in the 16th percentile of North Carolina elementary schools — a 1-star rating in the bottom fifth — though it has risen from the 3rd percentile in 2021-22. Reading is the most consistent challenge: grade 3–5 proficiency rates range from roughly 30% to 39%, about 20 to 26 points below the state average in every grade. Math results are more mixed, with 4th graders posting a strong 66.7% proficiency rate that beat both district and state averages, while 5th grade math fell to 36.2%. Chronic absenteeism is a major obstacle: 37% of students are chronically absent, compared with about 24% statewide. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 16.6 is also among the highest in the area.

Concentrated poverty does not explain the results. Nearly every nearby school serves a student body that is 97–99% economically disadvantaged, yet Williamston Primary, Rodgers Elementary, and Stokes rank far higher statewide — at the 96th, 62nd, and 57th percentiles, respectively — despite very similar demographics. Within Martin County Schools, elementary outcomes range from near the top of the state to near the bottom (E J Hayes Elementary sits in the 4th percentile), pointing to school-level factors like leadership, attendance, and intervention systems. There are encouraging signals: science proficiency has risen from 30% to 53% in recent years, special education results have improved three years straight, and one math cohort has shown sustained success. Cutting chronic absenteeism and boosting reading proficiency remain the clearest priorities.
