Summary

Nancy Reynolds Elementary School is a small, rural K-5 school in Westfield, NC, serving about 192 students and is part of Stokes County Schools. The school’s overall ranking has slipped to the 41st percentile statewide (882nd of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools), a steady decline from the 67th percentile in 2023-2024 and the 83rd percentile in 2018-2019. That places it well behind several comparable high-poverty schools nearby, which suggests poverty alone does not explain the trend.

The clearest warning sign is chronic absenteeism. At 28.8% in 2024-2025, Nancy Reynolds’ rate is roughly double that of strong neighboring schools like Pilot Mountain Elementary (11.0%), Shoals Elementary (12.4%), Mount Olive Elementary School (14.6%), and Poplar Springs Elementary School (15.8%). Those schools, all serving student populations with similar or higher poverty rates, are ranked in the 70th to 95th percentile statewide. Nancy Reynolds also exceeds both the district rate of 19.1% and the state rate of 24.2%, and it has done so in every reported year since 2020-2021.

Academic performance varies sharply by grade and subject. In the most recent year, 3rd grade math (80.6% proficient) and 3rd grade reading (61.3%) were above district and state averages, while 5th grade reading (37.8%) and 4th grade math (45.0%) were well below. With only about 30 students per grade, single-year results can swing dramatically, so parents should interpret any one year cautiously. Bright spots include strong special education results (68th percentile statewide) and historically solid outcomes for low-income students as recently as 2023-2024. Nancy Reynolds is not struggling everywhere, but improving attendance and smoothing out grade-level consistency appear to be the highest-leverage priorities for families to watch.
