18^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 North Carolina Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of North Carolina elementary schools

Summary

Rea View Elementary is a K–5 school in Waxhaw, NC, serving 629 students as part of Union County Public Schools, and it ranks 18th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools — putting it in the 99th percentile with a 5-star rating. This isn't a one-year fluke: the school has ranked in the state's top 20 every recent year tracked. On End-of-Grade tests, students posted proficiency rates between 87% and 94.8% across every subject and grade, averaging roughly 91% proficient compared to about 74% for the district and 61% statewide. Reading is a standout, with average proficiency near 89% versus about 67% for the district.

The chronic absenteeism rate at Rea View Elementary is just 5.5%, the lowest in its comparison group and far below the 14.6% district average and 24.2% state average. Nearby Sandy Ridge Elementary and Marvin Elementary both sit at 5.9%. The school serves a highly affluent population, with only about 5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it achieves these results without extraordinary spending or unusually small classes, with per-pupil spending around $8,855.

Notably, Rea View Elementary is not even the top school in its own neighborhood. Within roughly four miles sit Providence Spring Elementary (#6), Sandy Ridge Elementary (#11), Marvin Elementary (#19), Weddington Elementary (#20), Polo Ridge Elementary (#22), and Rea Farms STEAM Academy (#29). The one relative soft spot in the data: gifted and talented students rank at the 69th percentile among gifted students statewide — respectable but the only subgroup metric that falls short of the school's otherwise extraordinary performance. This may point to an opportunity to better serve advanced learners. Ultimately, Rea View Elementary is a model of sustained excellence with remarkable test scores, outstanding attendance, and a deeply supportive community.
