Summary

Millingport Elementary in Albemarle, NC, is a small K-5 school serving 192 students in western Stanly County through Stanly County Schools. Despite nearly all of its students (97.9%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school ranks in the top 13% of North Carolina elementary schools — an 87th-percentile, 4-star rating that reflects years of steady improvement from a 23rd-percentile ranking in 2017-2018. Millingport now beats both district and state averages in every tested grade and subject, with particularly large gaps in 3rd-grade reading (78.6% proficient vs. 56.1% for the district) and 5th-grade math (84.6% vs. 62.6%).

Those results are especially notable given the student population. Millingport ranks in the 99th percentile statewide — a 5-star rating — for academic effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students. The contrast with nearby schools is striking: East Albemarle Elementary, another Stanly County school about 7.6 miles away, serves a nearly identical low-income population (98.9%) yet ranks in the 2nd percentile, with only about 30% of 5th graders proficient in math and science. Millingport also outranks Mount Pleasant Elementary, a more affluent Cabarrus County Schools school where just 43.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Attendance and school resources help explain the turnaround. Millingport's chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 28.2% in 2021-2022 to 11.3% in 2024-2025 — well below Stanly County Schools' 19.7% rate and the state's 24.2% rate. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and the highest per-pupil spending among nearby schools, at roughly $10,700. Because Millingport is small, individual grade-level scores can swing from year to year as different classes move through, but its sustained four-year run in the 85th–89th percentile range points to a genuinely effective school rather than a one-cohort fluke.
