Summary

Clement Elementary is a small, rural PK–5 school in Autryville, NC, serving about 367 students in the Sampson County Schools district. The school currently ranks in the 69th percentile statewide — 456th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, earning 3 stars — an above-average result that is especially noteworthy given that 99% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Math is Clement’s clear standout subject. In the latest test year, 85.2% of 3rd graders scored proficient in math, compared with 66.4% statewide, and 4th and 5th grade math scores also topped state averages. Reading is more moderate: 3rd grade reading sits right at the state average, while 4th and 5th grade reading remain above it. Among nearby schools in Sampson County Schools, only Midway Elementary ranks higher than Clement, at the 75th percentile. Clement is well ahead of Plain View Elementary (61st), Roseboro Elementary (35th), and Salemburg Elementary (32nd). It performs at a similar level to J W Seabrook Elementary (69th percentile) while trailing high-performing Cumberland County Schools like Stedman Elementary (90th) and Eastover-Central Elementary (83rd).

The school has also made impressive strides in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 34.8% to 17.4% — far better than the district average of 25.3% and most local peers. Clement’s low-income students rank in the 82nd percentile statewide among economically disadvantaged students, and its gifted learners reached the 96th percentile in the most recent year. While Clement was a five-star school before the pandemic and now sits at a strong above-average level, early-grade reading is the area to watch. Overall, families will find a resilient school serving a high-poverty community effectively, with strong math outcomes and improving attendance.

Wonderful teachers and caring staff. Most of the teachers work long after the normal school hours. Many provide students with things they need like school supplies, and more. The cafeteria workers are kind & caring too. The food is very good despite government restrictions & regulations. Close Quote
