56^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 North Carolina Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of North Carolina elementary schools

Summary

McKee Road Elementary in Charlotte, NC, serves 534 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, situated among a cluster of the region's highest-performing elementary schools.

The school has earned a 5-star rating every year since 2015–16 and currently ranks 56th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools — an impressive gap above CMS, which ranks 105th among 246 districts. Math is the signature subject: 98.6% of third graders and 97.5% of fourth graders scored proficient, compared with CMS averages of about 71% and 67%. Reading is also strong, with proficiency ranging from 75% to 84% across grades; fifth grade is a relative soft spot in both subjects.

What makes the achievement notable is the school's economic diversity. With 27.3% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, McKee Road serves a more economically mixed population than nearby standouts like Providence Spring Elementary (5.3%) or Rea View Elementary (5.4%), yet still ranks in the top 4% statewide. It also outperforms CMS schools with similar poverty levels: Matthews Elementary (31% free/reduced, ranked 128th) and McAlpine Elementary (29.9%, ranked 131st) trail McKee Road's 56th-place finish. Outcomes for historically underserved groups are exceptional: low-income students, English learners, and special education students all rank in the 94th–99th percentile statewide, and African American students ranked 2nd among 924 schools in the most recent data. Chronic absenteeism is just 9.9%, less than half the district's 26.8%, while per-student spending of $9,115 exceeds that of most neighboring CMS elementaries.
