Summary

Page Street Elementary is a small, rural school in Troy, North Carolina, serving 248 students in grades 3 through 5, with nearly every student (98.8%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting an exceptionally high-poverty community. The school is part of Montgomery County Schools, a district ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina, yet Page Street has climbed steadily from the 14th percentile statewide in 2021-22 to the 34th percentile (a 2-star rating) in 2025-26—making it the second-highest-performing elementary school in the district.

Because Page Street serves only grades 3-5, its students arrive from Troy Elementary, the PK-2 school less than a mile away, and those 3rd graders arrive performing at or above state averages in both reading and math. The challenge emerges in the years that follow: by 4th grade, proficiency drops by 15 to 23 points, leaving the school roughly 18 points or more behind the state average in both subjects. Within the district, only Star Elementary outperforms Page Street, ranking at the 52nd percentile with a nearly identical poverty profile, while Green Ridge Elementary (11th percentile), Candor Elementary (7th percentile), and Mount Gilead Elementary (1st percentile) all trail well behind.

The school has also posted one of the region's most impressive attendance turnarounds, cutting chronic absenteeism from 38.1% in 2021-22 to 20.4% in 2024-25—now below both the district and state averages. One lingering concern is class size: with a 19:1 student-teacher ratio, Page Street has the highest ratio of any nearby school, which may strain the individualized attention that upper-elementary students need most. Still, with 3rd graders meeting state benchmarks and attendance improving dramatically, the school appears to be on a genuine upward path; the central question is whether it can carry that progress through the 4th and 5th grade years.
