Moore County Schools continue to show steady progress, according to new performance grades released Tuesday by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.
Of the 22 schools graded for 2024-2025, one earned an A, nine earned a B, nine earned a C, and three earned a D. No schools received an F. Three schools improved their grade from last year, including Robbins Elementary, which moved from a D to a C and is no longer considered low-performing.
Pinehurst Elementary was the district’s lone A-rated school. Aberdeen Elementary rose from an F to a D, while Crain’s Creek and Elise middle schools dropped to a D.
Fifteen schools met or exceeded growth expectations. Districtwide, proficiency scores in reading and math are at five-year highs, and Moore County students outperformed the state in science despite new testing standards.
The Class of 2025 graduation rate was 89.6 percent, again higher than the state average of 87.7 percent.
Superintendent Tim Locklair said the results reflect the hard work of students and staff. “While we remain committed to focused improvement, we celebrate this significant progress and are excited about the opportunities for continued growth this school year,” he said.
