About Partnership Elementary
Partnership Elementary serves 273 students from kindergarten through fifth grade in Raleigh, North Carolina, earning a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — a rating the platform labels Exceptional. That score rests on two strong pillars: an academic score of 8.3/10 and a growth score of 9.9/10. The growth figure carries particular weight — it measures how much students advance relative to expectations, and a near-perfect 9.9 signals that students here are consistently outpacing predicted progress.
Those results place Partnership at the top of a large field. The school ranks #1 out of 98 public schools in Raleigh and sits at #17 out of 2,648 public schools statewide, outperforming 99% of North Carolina schools. Among all North Carolina elementary schools, it ranks #16 out of 1,474.
A student-teacher ratio of 10.9-to-1 keeps class sizes small, supporting the individualized instruction that drives those growth numbers. For families comparing elementary schools in Raleigh, Partnership Elementary leads the city by a clear margin — and the statewide rankings confirm that lead holds across a much larger pool.
