Summary

Manning Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, serving 653 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Roanoke Rapids City Schools district, which is ranked 118 out of 242 districts in the state.

While Manning Elementary has shown some strengths, such as its English Language Learner (ELL) students performing in the top 20% of North Carolina elementary schools, the school has faced challenges in overall academic performance. Its proficiency rates in mathematics and reading have been below the state averages, with 3rd-grade math at 59% (vs. 64.1% state) and 5th-grade reading at 44.4% (vs. 52.9% state). However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was higher than the state average, at 64.4% compared to 62%. The school's Special Education and Disabled student subgroups have also struggled, ranking in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools in other districts, such as Gaston STEM Leadership Academy and Aurelian Springs Institute of Global Learning, have outperformed Manning Elementary on state assessments. Additionally, while Belmont Elementary School, another school in the Roanoke Rapids City Schools district, has shown similar performance, the school's resources do not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes for its students, as evidenced by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8 in 2023-2024.
