Summary

Statesville Road Elementary is a PK-5 public school in northwest Charlotte serving 482 students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, where 99.4% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school has staged a remarkable turnaround. In 2021-22, it sat at the 4th percentile among North Carolina elementary schools; by 2025-26, it had climbed to the 44th percentile, ranking 838th of 1,492 schools and earning 2 stars. That kind of sustained upward movement is rare, especially at a school where nearly every student comes from a low-income household.

The academic bright spots are math and science. Statesville Road posted an 82.1% proficiency rate in 3rd grade math, well above the CMS district average of 70.7% and the state average of 66.4%. Fifth-grade science reached 69.5%, roughly matching the district average and slightly exceeding the state. Nearby schools such as Winding Springs Elementary and David Cox Road Elementary lag behind on these measures. Reading remains the biggest challenge: proficiency falls below district and state averages in every tested grade, with the largest gap in 4th grade. Still, reading scores here are higher than at nearby Walter G. Byers School, Highland Renaissance Academy, and Druid Hills Academy.

Subgroup results are the most encouraging part of the story: in 2025-26, African American students ranked at the 70th percentile statewide, Hispanic students at the 76th, English Language Learners at the 79th, and low-income students at the 70th — far above where those same groups stood just two years earlier. Attendance has also improved dramatically. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 45.1% in 2021-22 to 21.1% in 2024-25, now below district and state rates and far better than Oakdale Elementary (37.9%) or Hornets Nest Elementary (30.1%). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and gains across multiple student groups, Statesville Road looks like a school making genuine, broad-based progress — and the next test is whether reading can catch up to math and science.
