Summary

Aversboro Elementary is a public elementary school in Garner, North Carolina, serving 350 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 60th out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Aversboro Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Aversboro Elementary struggles academically, with significantly lower standardized test scores compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 57.2% for the district and 46.7% for the state. The school also has a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the nearby schools, which range from 34% to 99% free/reduced-lunch recipients.

Aversboro Elementary's performance has declined over the past decade, dropping from 633rd out of 1,440 North Carolina elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,322nd out of 1,490 in 2024-2025. The school also faces stark disparities in performance between student subgroups, with the high-achieving gifted and talented students contrasting sharply with the low-performing African American and English Language Learner students. Despite being located in the same district as several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Bryan Road Elementary and Rand Road Elementary, Aversboro Elementary continues to struggle academically.
