Mcadenville Elementary

McAdenville Elementary serves 174 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Mcadenville, North Carolina. The school earns a composite score of 9.2/10 — rated Exceptional — backed by an academic score of 9.0 and a growth score of 9.9/10. That growth figure is the most telling: students here advance faster than their peers statewide, not just arrive with built-in advantages.

The rankings confirm it. McAdenville Elementary sits at #35 of 2,648 public schools in North Carolina, outperforming 99% of schools across the state. Within Gaston County Schools, it ranks #2 of 56 — trailing only one other district school.

At the elementary level, it places #32 of 1,474 elementary schools statewide, a position that very few schools in North Carolina reach. With 174 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8:1, classes stay small enough for consistent individual attention. As a regular public school, McAdenville draws from the local district without selective admissions — every family assigned here gets access to these results.

That combination of open enrollment, small classes, and top-1% outcomes is rare at any school, public or private.

With an enrollment of 174 students, Mcadenville 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.
