Summary

E O Young Junior Elementary is a public elementary school in Henderson, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school is part of the Vance County Schools district, which is ranked 217 out of 242 districts in the state.

E O Young Junior Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past several years, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state standardized tests compared to state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading were 30-50 percentage points lower than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools in the Vance County district, such as Mariam Boyd Elementary and Dabney Elementary, E O Young Junior Elementary generally performs worse on state assessments.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is significantly higher than the district and state averages, as well as the nearby schools in the Vance County district. While the school's per-student spending of $15,350 in 2018-2019 was higher than the spending at most nearby schools, this higher funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. Addressing the persistent low performance and equity concerns at E O Young Junior Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the unique needs of the school's student population.

Lack of control by teachers, chaos in the classroom, teachers yelling at students, and no respect from students. The teachers cannot keep their students quiet and sitting at their desk. Close Quote
