Summary

Midway Elementary is a public elementary school in Dunn, North Carolina, serving 510 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sampson County Schools district, which is ranked 130 out of 242 districts in the state.

Midway Elementary consistently outperforms the Sampson County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores, particularly in 3rd-grade Mathematics and 5th-grade Science. The school also demonstrates strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's overall performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating on SchoolDigger.

While Midway Elementary is a high-performing school, it faces competition from other strong elementary schools in the surrounding area, such as Hargrove Elementary, Hobbton Elementary, and Plain View Elementary. Additionally, Midway Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school.
