Summary

Jeffreys Grove Elementary is a PK–5 school in Raleigh, NC, serving 543 students as part of Wake County Schools. The school is an academic standout, ranking 53rd out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools (96th percentile, 5-star rating) and posting uniformly high End-of-Grade scores: math proficiency ranges from 85.5% to 88.5%, reading from 80.7% to 87.2%, and 5th-grade science is 90.4%. Every tested grade and subject is well above district and state averages. That consistency is the result of a sustained turnaround, as the school climbed from the 80th percentile in 2017–2018 to the top 10% the following year and has remained there ever since.

Nearby, only Quest Academy (#8) and Leesville Road Elementary (#34) rank higher, but Jeffreys Grove Elementary clearly keeps pace, topping Leesville Road Elementary in 4th-grade math (88.5% to 86.4%) and reading (87.2% to 85.2%). Other nearby schools trail by wider margins; Lynn Road Elementary, less than a mile away, posts just 55.6% in 5th-grade math. The school also serves a wide range of students well: every measured subgroup — including Hispanic, African American, and low-income students — performs in the top third of elementary schools statewide or better. All this comes with an efficient price tag: $9,178 per student, less than every nearby school in the dataset, including Stough Elementary's $11,641.

Two trends are worth monitoring. Free/reduced-price lunch eligibility has climbed from 23.8% (2022–2023) to 31.5% (2024–2025), yet test scores have continued to rise — though low-income students still rank below the school's overall high bar. Chronic absenteeism is low at 12.8% versus 20.5% for the district and 24.2% for the state, but it has trended upward from 5.7% a few years ago. For parents, this is a top-tier neighborhood school with outstanding academics, strong attendance, and a track record of continuous improvement.
