Summary:

The city of Jacksonville, North Carolina is home to 26 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Onslow Early College and New Bridge Middle consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle with lower proficiency rates.

The Onslow County School District as a whole is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, but the presence of magnet and alternative schools like Onslow Early College and New Bridge Middle appears to be a positive factor, as these schools are outperforming their traditional counterparts. Additionally, elementary and middle schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Z.E.C.A. School of Arts and Technology, tend to struggle with lower test scores, indicating the significant impact of economic disadvantage on student outcomes.

Overall, the data suggests that while there are several high-performing schools in the Jacksonville area, there is also a significant achievement gap between the top and bottom-performing schools. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to address these disparities and ensure all students in the Onslow County School District have access to a quality education.
