Summary

Stallings Elementary is a K-5 public school in Stallings, NC, serving 766 students as part of Union County Public Schools, a district ranked 43rd out of 246 districts statewide. The school itself is rated 5 stars and ranks 137th out of 1,492 elementary schools in North Carolina, placing it in the 91st percentile. That ranking reflects sustained excellence rather than a one-year surge: Stallings has stayed in the top 11% of elementary schools for nearly a full decade, with about 28% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Stallings outperforms both its district and the state in every subject and grade level tested. Math is its strongest subject, with proficiency rates above 82% in grades 3, 4, and 5, while 5th-grade science reaches 84.8% proficiency. Reading is solid but softer, averaging about 73% proficiency across grades, with 3rd-grade reading the most variable area in recent years. Within a competitive cluster of nearby schools that includes Elizabeth Lane Elementary, Bain Elementary, Poplin Elementary, and Matthews Elementary, Stallings is clearly part of the upper echelon, ranking just behind those peers but far ahead of Hemby Bridge Elementary, Indian Trail Elementary, and Matthews Charter Academy, the charter school located only 0.8 miles away.

Stallings also stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.9%, compared with 14.6% for Union County Public Schools, 24.2% statewide, and 16.8% at nearby Matthews Charter Academy. The school earns strong results for many student groups, with students from low-income families ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide and English language learners in the 87th percentile. Overall, Stallings proves to be one of the most consistent and well-rounded elementary options in the southeastern Charlotte area.
