About Maysville Elementary

Maysville Elementary is a regular public school serving 124 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Maysville, North Carolina. The school earned a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — with an academic score of 8.8 and a growth score of 9.4. State rankings confirm the weight of those numbers.

Maysville Elementary places 14th out of 2,648 public schools in North Carolina, outperforming 100 percent of all public schools statewide. Among elementary schools specifically, it ranks 13th out of 1,474 — a more narrowly defined peer group where top placements are harder to reach. The school runs at a 12.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio with 124 total students across seven grade levels — pre-K through fifth grade.

That low ratio means teachers maintain direct contact with students throughout the full span of elementary school. Families who prioritize both academic outcomes and a manageable classroom environment will find Maysville's numbers difficult to match at any public school in the state.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 124 students, Maysville Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Maysville Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
