Summary

Leaksville-Spray Elementary is a pre-kindergarten through 5th grade school in Eden, NC, serving roughly 400 students as part of Rockingham County Schools. The school experienced a sharp drop in its statewide ranking, moving from the 44th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026. It serves a very high-poverty population, with about 96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. More than one in three students was chronically absent in the most recent year, though that rate is slightly below the district's average. On a positive note, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7 to 1 and spends $10,359 per student, the highest among neighboring Rockingham County elementaries.

Academically, the school shows a distinct split. Third- and 4th-grade reading proficiency in 2025-2026 came in at 50.8% and 50.6%, respectively, both above the district's averages. But math proficiency was below both district and state levels at every grade level, and 5th-grade scores were particularly concerning — reading at 42.0% versus the district's 48.6%, and science at 46.0% versus the district's 59.7%. Nearby schools serving similarly high-poverty populations, such as Douglass Elementary, Wentworth Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Bethany Elementary, rank higher on statewide measures, suggesting school-level factors beyond poverty are at play.

There are encouraging signs in certain student groups. Hispanic and special education students at Leaksville-Spray ranked in the 68th and 58th percentiles, respectively, compared with their peers statewide, indicating that some instructional approaches are working well. In contrast, gifted students saw their ranking fall dramatically in recent years, from the 96th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 2nd percentile in 2024-2025. Chronic absenteeism remains an urgent target: nearly one-third of students miss enough school to be considered chronically absent, and lower-performing neighboring schools tend to have higher absence rates. Addressing attendance and understanding what works for the school's stronger-performing student groups could be important levers for improvement.

The Preschool to Prison Pipeline

Parents please do not allow your children to attend this school. The faculty are horribly rude and insensitive. If one does not have a genuine desire and passion to teach, nurture children in education; then one should not teach. Its very sad when the environment that your child should be learning becomes more like a prison to them, instead of the place that they can learn and thrive. Using children as experiments for more funding in your school will get you what you want in the moment; but have damaging effects on the future leaders of our world. Shame on you and all who are involved. Close Quote
