Summary

Grays Chapel Elementary School serves about 446 students in kindergarten through 5th grade in Franklinville, NC, and is part of the Randolph County School System. Nearly all of its students — over 99% — qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making it a high-poverty school. The school currently ranks in the 44th percentile of North Carolina elementary schools with a two-star rating, placing it in the upper-middle of its immediate cluster: it outperforms several nearby schools that land in the bottom 10-25% statewide, but trails New Market Elementary School (61st percentile) and Franklinville Elementary School (53rd percentile).

Academically, Grays Chapel shows real strengths in math, especially in the early grades: third-grade math proficiency matched the state average in 2025-2026, and fourth-grade math exceeded both district and state averages. Reading is a more persistent concern, particularly in third grade, where only about 47% of students were proficient — roughly nine points below the state. The transition to fifth grade also looks like a pressure point: fifth-grade math proficiency was 52.4%, more than ten points below the state average, and science trailed state and district averages as well. The school’s overall dip in rank reflects mostly uneven grade-level results rather than a broad decline, since fifth-grade reading and science actually improved that same year.

One of the clearest bright spots at Grays Chapel is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 24.3% to 15.3% in a single year, well below the district average of 22.5% and the state average of 24.2%. That improvement could lay a foundation for future academic gains. However, not all student groups are seeing equal outcomes: students from low-income families, gifted students, and those receiving special education services all perform lower relative to their statewide peers than the school does overall. With a somewhat higher-than-typical student-teacher ratio (15.3 to 1) and lower per-pupil spending than many nearby schools, Grays Chapel is best understood as a solid mid-range school in a high-poverty setting — one to watch for continued focus on early literacy and upper-grade math.
