Summary

Southmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Asheboro, North Carolina, serving 573 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Randolph County School System, which is ranked 152 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Southmont Elementary School performs relatively well, consistently ranking in the top half of North Carolina elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's mathematics proficiency, particularly in 3rd grade, is significantly higher than the Randolph County and North Carolina averages. However, the school's reading proficiency has been more mixed, with 3rd grade reading scores below the district and state levels in recent years. Southmont's male students and Hispanic students perform particularly well, ranking in the top half of North Carolina elementary schools in these subgroups, while the school's English Language Learner and Gifted and Talented students are an area of concern.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Randolph County School System, such as Franklinville Elementary and Tabernacle Elementary, Southmont's academic performance is generally on par or slightly better. When compared to schools in the neighboring Asheboro City Schools district, Southmont outperforms the lower-ranked Asheboro City schools, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's high poverty rate, with a large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its relatively high student-teacher ratio may present challenges that the school is working to address.
