Summary

Wentworth Elementary is a K-5 school in Reidsville, NC, serving 497 students in Rockingham County Schools. Although the district ranks in the lower third of North Carolina districts, Wentworth does meaningfully better: in 2025–26 it ranked at the 52nd percentile statewide, earning 3 stars and placing it around the state median. Historically the school was stronger—at the 79th percentile in 2018–19—but it has stabilized in the 52nd–60th percentile range in recent years. Among nearby elementaries, Wentworth sits in the upper tier: Bethany Elementary leads the cluster at the 61st percentile, Lincoln Elementary follows at 60th, and Wentworth comes next at 52nd—ahead of Douglass Elementary, Stoneville Elementary, Monroeton Elementary, and several others. The nearest non-district option, Legacy Classical Academy, ranks at just the 12th percentile.

The school's standout results are in upper-elementary math and science. Fifth-grade students posted 76.3% proficiency in math and 78.8% in science—well above the district and state averages—and 5th-grade reading also topped the state. Scores climb steadily from 3rd to 5th grade, pointing to real student progress during the elementary years. The school also earns strong outcomes for special education students, who ranked at the 63rd percentile statewide in 2025–26. That is notable in a school where about 99% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism is 25.1%—far better than the district's 36.5% and close to the state's 24.2%—and the student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 is more favorable than at most nearby schools.

Early-grade reading is the clearest weakness. Only 41.7% of 3rd graders and 46.2% of 4th graders were reading proficiently, below the state's 55.6% and 57.7%, and this gap has persisted for several years. There are also equity gaps within the school: in 2025–26, female students ranked at the 64th percentile while male students ranked at the 40th, and students from low-income households ranked at the 28th percentile, down from the 52nd–55th range the previous year. Overall, this is a solidly functioning high-poverty school with genuine strengths in math, science, and special education. Its biggest opportunity for improvement lies in early literacy.
