Fair Grove Elementary School

What Fair Grove Elementary School does

Fair Grove Elementary School is a Title 1 public elementary school serving Pre-K through 5th grade students at 217 Cedar Lodge Road, Thomasville, North Carolina. Originally established in 1926 and currently operating out of two buildings constructed in 1968 and 1980, the school is part of the Davidson County Schools district and uses the tiger mascot under the motto 'Prowling Towards Excellence.' The student body is drawn from a geographically defined attendance zone, and the school provides a traditional elementary curriculum aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

The academic program is augmented by a suite of support and specialized services: Title I reading intervention, Academically/Intellectually Gifted (AIG) enrichment aligned with NC State AIG Program Standards, English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, Exceptional Children (EC) special education, speech-language pathology, school counseling, and social work services. A School Readiness / Parents as Teachers home-visit program extends reach into early childhood from birth through age 5. Operational technology is delivered through third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Edlio (website), ClassLink (single sign-on), Infinite Campus (student information system), Class Dojo (behavior management and parent communication), Destiny by Follett (library management), Discovery Education, Flocabulary, Starfall, ABCya, PBS Kids, Storyline Online, Wonderopolis, and WIDA (ESL standards), with commerce handled via SchoolCash Online and Linq Connect (Lunch Pay), and transportation visibility via Here Comes the Bus.

The institution is publicly funded through a combination of local property taxes, state education funding, and federal Title 1 grants administered via the Davidson County Schools district. There is no tuition and no commercial pricing model; enrollment occurs through district-wide processes keyed to residential address. The school is led by Principal Marc Charpentier, Assistant Principal Valerie Burrow (18+ years district tenure, M.S. in School Administration from Appalachian State University), and Instructional Coach/Title I Process Manager Nichole Bacon (25 years district tenure). Recognition programs include the 2023-2024 Teacher of the Year Abigail Nero, the 2026 Teacher of the Year Haley Varner, BT of the Year Hannah Garner, and IA of the Year Hannah Eddleman.
