Summary

Beaverdam Elementary is a public elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving 641 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 60th out of 242 districts in the state.

Academically, Beaverdam Elementary has struggled in recent years, consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was just 34.5%, compared to 57.2% for Harris Creek Elementary and 46.7% for the state. Beaverdam also has significant achievement gaps between student subgroups, with male students, African American students, and Hispanic students generally outperforming their female, White, and Asian peers.

The school's challenges may be linked to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the nearby Doral Academy of North Carolina, a public charter school, significantly outperforms Beaverdam and the surrounding district schools, suggesting the charter school model may be more effective in addressing the needs of the local community.
