Summary

Morrisville Elementary is a K–5 public school in Morrisville, North Carolina, serving 643 students in the Wake County Schools district. The school carries a 5-star SchoolDigger rating and currently ranks 105th of 1,492 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 93rd percentile. Its math program is a standout: roughly 89% of 4th and 5th graders are proficient in math, compared with district averages around 70–72% and state averages in the low-to-mid 60s. The school also posts a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%—far better than the district's 20.5% and the state's 24.2%—and about 13.2% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a relatively low-poverty population. The student-teacher ratio is 14.2 to 1, with per-pupil spending of $9,542.

What makes Morrisville unusual is its neighborhood. While a 93rd-percentile ranking would make it a standout almost anywhere in North Carolina, it sits in one of the most academically rich clusters in the state. Nearby schools include Davis Drive Elementary (16th), Mills Park Elementary (27th), Highcroft Elementary (33rd), and Green Hope Elementary (71st). Among this elite field, Morrisville ranks roughly fourth or fifth strongest within a two-mile radius. One of its most compelling differentiators is its exceptional support for English learners: the school has ranked in the 96th percentile or higher statewide for this student group for three consecutive years—a genuinely standout result.

Reading and science are comparatively weaker areas. Third-grade reading proficiency improved to 77.0% in the latest year, yet it still trails Mills Park (87.5%), Highcroft (82.0%), and Davis Drive (80.8%). Fifth-grade science proficiency fell to 78.4%—above district and state averages, but the lowest among nearly all nearby elementary schools. Subgroup results are also uneven: while overall effectiveness ranks in the 93rd percentile, Asian students have ranked in only the 38th–43rd percentile over the last three years, and special education students sit near the 58th percentile. The school has the resources and track record to re-establish itself among the very best in the Triangle, but the competition around it is formidable—and math alone will not keep it there.

Don’t send your child here. There are more awful teachers here than good. The vice principals will always find fault with the student and teachers will never be seen in their true awful light. Don’t expect to get very far here. Teachers have awful to no ethics with the students, complaints will fall on deaf ears Close Quote
