Summary

Williamsburg Elementary is a pre-K–5 public school in Reidsville, NC, serving roughly 497 students within Rockingham County Schools. The district ranks in the bottom third of North Carolina school systems, and the school itself ranked 929th of 1,492 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the 38th percentile with a 2-star rating, a modest improvement over the previous year's 33rd percentile. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making this a very high-poverty school. Despite that challenge, the school generally outperforms nearby Moss Street Elementary, South End Elementary, and Legacy Classical Academy, though it trails Wentworth Elementary.

Its strongest results come in the early grades. Third- and fourth-grade math proficiency has often run 10 to 20 points above the district average and has stayed close to or above the state average. Overall math and reading scores in grades 3 through 5 beat the district but trail North Carolina as a whole. English learner and low-income students are particular bright spots: English learners ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide in 2025–2026, and low-income students reached the 67th percentile, up sharply from the year before. Chronic absenteeism is also a relative strength — at 25.1%, it is far better than the district rate of 36.5% and nearly matches the state rate of 24.2%.

The bigger concern is 5th grade. Fifth-grade math, reading, and especially science have often fallen well below district and state levels, with science the largest gap: 49.1% proficient versus 67.7% statewide. That is what separates this school from Wentworth Elementary, a nearby school with similar poverty and attendance rates that ranks in the 52nd percentile. In 3rd grade the two are competitive, but 5th-grade science proficiency at Wentworth Elementary is 78.8% — nearly 30 points higher. The school also shows uneven results across student groups: girls, special education students, and gifted-identified students all rank in the bottom quarter of their statewide comparison groups. Improving 5th-grade instruction, especially science, and closing these subgroup gaps would likely lift the school's overall rank.
