Public Grades K-5

Summary

Baskerville Elementary is a public elementary school in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, serving 312 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Nash County Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baskerville Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina, with only 17% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics and just 11.3% of 3rd-grade students meeting or exceeding reading proficiency standards in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly below the state and district averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 97% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools like Red Oak Elementary (59.46%) and Englewood Elementary (74.06%).

Despite Baskerville's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20 students per teacher, the school has struggled to improve student outcomes for over a decade, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state. This raises questions about the equity of educational opportunities and resources available to the predominantly African American and low-income student population at Baskerville compared to their peers in the surrounding area. Addressing the persistent low performance and significant socioeconomic and racial disparities at Baskerville will be a critical priority for the Nash County Public Schools district and the local community.
