Summary

Stateside Elementary is a K–5 public school in Jacksonville, North Carolina, serving 579 students as part of Onslow County Schools, where in recent years it has become one of the strongest elementary schools in the area. Within a district that ranks 136th of 246 statewide, Stateside currently holds a three-star rating and ranked 494th out of nearly 1,500 elementary schools—the 67th percentile—in 2025–2026, a dramatic, steady climb from its one-star, 22nd-percentile ranking in 2022–2023.

For parents, the evidence is encouraging. In 2025–2026, students met or beat state averages in nearly every subject and grade: 71% proficiency in third-grade math (66.4% statewide), 61.7% in fourth-grade reading (57.7% statewide), and 75.8% in fifth-grade science (67.7% statewide). Stateside also outranks nearly every nearby elementary school, including Northwoods Elementary, Jacksonville Commons Elementary, Blue Creek Elementary, Parkwood Elementary, Meadow View Elementary, Clear View Elementary, Heritage Elementary School, Summersill Elementary, and Richlands Elementary; only Carolina Forest Elementary ranks higher nearby. The school is especially strong for students who have historically been underserved—economically disadvantaged students reach the 76th percentile statewide, students with disabilities the 65th, and military-connected children the 57th, all outperforming a typical North Carolina school. Chronic absenteeism (17.2%) is far below the district (22.7%) and state (24.2%) averages, supporting consistent learning.

Every school has areas for growth, and Stateside's are fifth-grade math (58.9% proficiency, slightly below the state's 62.9%) and services for gifted students, who rank in just the 13th percentile statewide. Still, the school achieves these results while spending less per student than several lower-performing neighbors and serving a mixed-income community similar to Carolina Forest Elementary's. For families weighing elementary options in the Jacksonville area, Stateside's rapid improvement, strong attendance culture, and standout outcomes for students who often face achievement gaps make it a compelling choice.
