Summary

Baileywick Road Elementary is a small PreK–5 public school in north Raleigh, NC, serving 352 students within Wake County Schools, a district that ranks in the 76th percentile of North Carolina schools. Despite that strong district context, Baileywick holds a 1-star rating in 2025–26 and ranks 1217th out of 1492 North Carolina schools, placing it in the 18th percentile statewide. Its results look especially stark next to nearby elementaries: Barton Pond Elementary ranks in the 97th percentile, Leesville Road Elementary in the 98th, Jeffreys Grove Elementary in the 96th, and Pleasant Union Elementary in the 88th — all within about three miles. Among its immediate neighbors, Baileywick is the lowest-ranked Wake County elementary school.

Academically, Baileywick trails both district and state averages by wide margins. In the most recent EOG results, only 36.6% of third graders scored proficient in reading, compared with 65.4% in Wake County; fifth-grade math proficiency was 41.2% versus 71.7% district-wide. Third-grade reading proficiency has now stayed below 40% for four consecutive years. The school's averages also hide big differences between student groups: statewide rankings show Baileywick serving White students at the 76th percentile and gifted students at the 85th, but Hispanic students at the 1st percentile, low-income students at the 1st, and English learners at the 3rd. Lynn Road Elementary, with a nearly identical share of low-income students (57.2%), ranks in the 58th percentile — suggesting poverty alone does not explain the gap.

Baileywick is not under-resourced: it spends about $11,787 per student — the highest among nearby elementary schools — and has a student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1, the lowest in the group. But chronic absenteeism remains a serious issue. At 27.6% in 2024–25, Baileywick's rate tops every nearby school and sits well above the Wake County rate of 20.5%. Barton Pond Elementary, fewer than two miles away, has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.6%. For parents considering this school, the key concerns are clear: persistent absenteeism and an early-reading crisis that has not yet turned around, despite higher per-pupil spending and smaller classes than most neighboring schools.

If you like your child to be punched, kicked or hit with no contact then this school is for you! The teacher to student ratio is a lie. The classes are approximately 20 students per teacher in the lower grades and increase in the higher grades. Students are given work to complete themselves while the teacher tries to catch up other students. Teachers that work there send their children to other schools and so do others that live in the neighborhoods “assigned” to this school. The principal is abysmal at best and doesn’t respond to parents. Notice all positive reviews are from 2017 or prior. Avoid this school at all costs! Close Quote

We've been here for three years and so far so good for a public school! Close Quote

Funny how all of the recent reviews are within days of each other - wink wink.

Highly noticeable - Mixed communications from administrative staff in the front office- some of the staff are wonderful and very professional - others are clearly bothered to see parents in the building. Other problems - Lack of information about what goes on the classroom. Little to no information on the school website or in communications with school staff or teachers. Yes it is a smaller school and the vast majority of the teachers and staff are extremely nice. But concerns from parents can be met with stonewalled behavior from teachers and staff.
YOU will have to be extra proactive to know what is going on with your child's class and daily class activities. Compared to other area schools, little to no information is displayed on the website.

The school itself is in need of maintenance repairs and upkeep - similar to other, established wake county schools that are sadly starting to show neglect and disrepair. The money seems to follow new neighborhoods and new schools.

Overall the mood here seems apathetic - it could be much better. Close Quote
