Summary

Lawsonville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lawsonville, North Carolina, serving 118 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Stokes County Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Lawsonville Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (94.92%) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Pine Hall Elementary School and Westfield Elementary. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 44.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 63.7% for the district and 62.7% for the state. Lawsonville Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 445 out of 1,425 North Carolina elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1,034 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom third of elementary schools in the state.

The school's performance also varies among different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (48.31% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to its academic challenges. When compared to other nearby schools in the Stokes County Schools district, Lawsonville Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in math, reading, and science. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student learning outcomes.
