Summary

Englewood Elementary is a K–5 school in Rocky Mount, NC, serving 383 students as part of Nash County Public Schools. The school has faced real challenges over the past decade, but parents should know it is not the lowest-performing school in its immediate area, and it shows genuine strengths in several important areas.

Reading is the biggest concern. In 2025–26, only 37% of 3rd graders, 46% of 4th graders, and 39% of 5th graders were proficient in reading — all well below state averages. This has been a persistent pattern for several years. By contrast, upper-grade math is a relative bright spot: 5th grade math proficiency reached 62%, beating the district average and nearly matching the state. Science has also been strong in recent years. In 2024–25, 5th grade science proficiency hit 69%, well above nearby Winstead Avenue Elementary and Benvenue Elementary. Math scores also tend to improve significantly as students move from 3rd grade to 5th grade, suggesting the school’s math program is helping students grow.

Chronic absenteeism is another obstacle: about 31% of students missed significant school time in 2024–25, higher than the district average but lower than nearby G R Edwards Elementary. On a more positive note, Englewood does particularly well for certain groups of students. For African American students, the school ranked in the 57th percentile statewide in 2025–26, far above its overall rank. Gifted students recently earned an 89th-percentile rating, and special education students have shown meaningful improvement. The school serves an almost entirely low-income population — 99% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — yet nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Coopers Elementary and Red Oak Elementary, perform somewhat higher overall. The clearest opportunity for Englewood is early reading intervention, especially in 3rd grade, alongside continued efforts to improve attendance.
