Summary

Westmoore Elementary is a small, rural PK-8 school in Seagrove, NC, serving 268 students as part of Moore County Schools.

The school currently ranks 531st of 1,492 North Carolina schools (64th percentile), putting it ahead of nearby Seagrove Elementary, Star Elementary, and Robbins Elementary, but behind same-district Highfalls Elementary and Bennett School. The most striking pattern is academic: middle grades are substantially stronger than elementary grades. In grades 6–8, reading and math proficiency average 76.6% and 72.2%, well above state averages of 55.7% and 56.1%, with 7th grade math reaching 88.9%. Elementary reading is the concern — only 48% of 3rd graders and 52.6% of 5th graders read proficiently, leaving a 32.6-point gap between 3rd and 6th grade reading that far exceeds the district's 6.4-point gap.

Almost the entire student body (98.88%) qualifies for free/reduced lunch, yet the school's economically disadvantaged students rank in the 69th percentile statewide — higher than the school's overall ranking — a sign that supports are working equitably. Chronic absenteeism, at 21.6%, sits above the district's 19.3% and deserves attention, though it is down sharply from 48.3% in 2021-22 and far better than Tillery Charter Academy's 53.6%. Because class cohorts are small, year-to-year swings can overstate real change; 2025-26 results are a step back from a 2023-24 peak but remain better than most pre-2022 years. The biggest opportunity is clear: apply the effective middle-grade instructional practices to grades K-5, especially early literacy, while stabilizing 5th grade science, which dropped from 85.7% to 63.2%.
