Summary

Creech Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Garner, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 579. The school is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 60 out of 242 districts in the state.

Academically, Creech Road Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests that are 10-20 percentage points lower than the Wake County and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade Reading. However, the school's student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, perform better relative to their peers at the surrounding schools, including Timber Drive Elementary, Smith Elementary, and Barwell Road Elementary.

Creech Road Elementary has a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 99.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past 10 years, and its per-student spending is on par with the other schools in the area. To improve overall academic outcomes, Creech Road Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of its diverse student population.
