Summary

East Bend Elementary is a small PK–5 school in East Bend, NC, serving about 246 students and is part of Yadkin County Schools. It recently earned a 4-star rating, placing it in the 73rd percentile of North Carolina elementary schools — a much stronger result than the district’s overall 42nd percentile ranking. These strong results are especially notable given that 98.78% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In math, East Bend posted proficiency rates of 73.7% in 3rd grade, 81.6% in 4th grade, and 75.0% in 5th grade — all well above district and state averages.

Science is another clear strength. Fifth-grade science proficiency reached 78.1%, compared with 56.7% for the district and 67.7% for the state. The school also appears to add particular value for its highest-need students: low-income students ranked in the 87th percentile statewide in the most recent year, and in 2021-2022, students with disabilities ranked in the 97th percentile. Comparing nearby schools helps put this in perspective. Forbush Elementary ranks slightly ahead at the 79th percentile, but serves a much lower-poverty population than East Bend. East Bend also outperforms Fall Creek Elementary and Yadkinville Elementary, both in the same district.

Reading is the relative weak spot. Third-grade reading (71.1% proficient) is well above district and state levels, but 4th-grade reading (50.0%) trails them, and 5th-grade reading (56.3%) is about even with the state. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, from 32.5% in 2022-2023 to 20.8% in 2024-2025, which is below both district and state averages. Still, it remains higher than nearby high performers such as Shoals Elementary and Lewisville Elementary, both around 12.8%, and Forbush Elementary at 9.5%. Because East Bend is small, grade-level scores can swing noticeably from year to year, so changes in reading proficiency should be interpreted with some caution.
