Summary:

The 28318 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Clement Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 354 students. Clement Elementary is part of the Sampson County Schools district, which is ranked 130 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 2 out of 5 star rating.

Clement Elementary appears to be a standout school within its district and the state, consistently outperforming the Sampson County Schools and North Carolina averages on standardized test scores in mathematics, reading, and science. For example, in 2024-2025, Clement Elementary's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 75.8%, compared to 67.4% for Sampson County and 64.1% for North Carolina. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 330 out of 1,490 North Carolina elementary schools (4 stars) in 2024-2025 to 604 out of 1,502 (3 stars) in 2022-2023.

Despite its academic achievements, Clement Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with an extremely high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.15% in the 2023-2024 school year. This high poverty concentration may have implications for the level of funding and resources available to the school, which had a spending per student of $11,254 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year.
