Summary

Seagrove Elementary School is a K–5 school in Seagrove, NC, serving 332 students as part of the Randolph County School System in a community where economic need is nearly universal—99.1% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school has seen its state ranking slip from a 4-star, 78th-percentile standing in 2021–2022 to a 2-star, 45th-percentile ranking for the 2025–2026 school year. That places it slightly below Farmer Elementary School and well below Southmont Elementary School, though still above Coleridge Elementary School among nearby same-district schools.

Despite the challenges that come with high poverty, Seagrove has genuine strengths. Chronic absenteeism is just 16.1%—far better than the district rate of 22.5% and the state rate of 24.2%—suggesting families are engaged and kids are showing up. Third grade is a clear bright spot: 72.9% of 3rd graders are proficient in math and 61.0% in reading, beating district and state averages in both subjects. In fact, Seagrove's 3rd-grade reading proficiency is the highest among nearby schools, including Southmont Elementary School, Star Elementary, and Westmoore Elementary.

The concern is that this early success fades in upper grades. By 4th grade, reading proficiency drops to 44.6%—more than 13 points below the state—and 5th-grade science has fallen sharply from 74.5% proficiency in 2023–2024 to just 47.6% in 2025–2026, a 20-point gap below the state average. Nearby Bennett School (85.2%) and Southmont Elementary School (78.7%) far outpace Seagrove in 5th-grade science. Outcomes also vary by student group: gifted students ranked in only the 20th percentile in 2025–2026, following volatile year-to-year swings. The pattern suggests Seagrove's early-grade instruction is working well, but students need stronger support in reading and science as they move through 4th and 5th grade.
