Summary

Bethany Elementary is a public elementary school located in Reidsville, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 466 students. The school is part of the Rockingham County Schools district, which is ranked 170 out of 242 districts in the state.

Bethany Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in Math. The school's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate of 64.4% in 2024-2025 was higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students is relatively weaker, and its ranking for White and low-income students is in the bottom 50% of North Carolina elementary schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 26.74% in 2021-2022 to 99.36% in 2023-2024, which may present unique challenges.

While Bethany Elementary outperforms other nearby schools in the Rockingham County Schools district, such as Wentworth Elementary and John W. Dillard Academy, its performance is not as strong when compared to schools outside the district, like Stokesdale Elementary and Summerfield Charter Academy. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 157 in 2018-2019 to 440 in 2024-2025, suggesting its performance may be improving at a slower rate compared to other North Carolina elementary schools.
