Summary

Williamsburg Elementary is a public elementary school located in Reidsville, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 484 students. The school is part of the Rockingham County Schools district, which is ranked 170 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Williamsburg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 732 and 1021 out of around 1,500 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Rockingham County and North Carolina averages, particularly for its White and Gifted and Talented student subgroups. However, the school performs relatively better for its African American and English Language Learner student subgroups. Williamsburg Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population, which likely contributes to the challenges the school faces in student academic performance.

While Williamsburg Elementary's per-student spending of $10,479 in 2018-2019 was higher than the per-student spending of some nearby schools, such as Wentworth Elementary ($9,530) and Altamahaw-Ossipee Elementary ($8,982), its student performance is generally lower. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes, and the school may need to focus on targeted, evidence-based strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.
