of 1,492 North Carolina Elementary Schools

Better than 94% of North Carolina elementary schools

Summary

Cedar Fork Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Morrisville, NC, serving 778 students as part of Wake County Schools. It ranks #88 out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools for 2025-2026 — the 94th percentile — and has earned a 5-star rating every year since at least 2015-2016, never falling below the 91st percentile statewide.

Academically, Cedar Fork beats its district and state averages by wide margins. In 2025-2026, 3rd grade math proficiency was 87.5% compared to 72.9% for the district and 66.4% for the state; 5th grade reading was 83.4% vs. 66.0% district and 55.3% state. That said, Cedar Fork sits in an exceptionally strong pocket of Wake County. Nearby Highcroft Elementary (#33) and Mills Park Elementary (#27) rank even higher, while Morrisville Elementary (#105) and Parkside Elementary (#110) trail slightly behind. The school substantially outperforms Sterling Montessori Academy, its nearest neighbor at 0.26 miles away: 5th grade math is 89.6% vs. 68.8%. Within its own walls, 4th grade is the relative weak spot — 79.0% math and 76.6% reading — though those still exceed district and state averages.

Cedar Fork stands out for serving a wide range of learners well. English Language Learner outcomes rank in the 93rd percentile statewide, and gifted students rank #20 out of 743 schools. Chronic absenteeism is 13.6%, well below the Wake County rate of 20.5%. Per-pupil spending is on the lower end for the area at about $8,320, meaning strong results aren't driven by high expenditures. The school also rebounded quickly from a 2024-2025 dip (when it fell to #134) back to #88, with double-digit gains in several subjects. For parents, Cedar Fork is a dependable, high-performing choice in a neighborhood full of excellent schools.
