Summary:
The city of Bolivia, North Carolina is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds with varying levels of academic performance.
Among the standout schools in the area is Classical Charter Schools of Southport, a public charter school for grades K-8 that consistently ranks in the top 25% of North Carolina elementary schools, with particularly strong math and science scores. Another high-performing school is Brunswick County Early College, a public high school that ranks in the top 5% of North Carolina high schools and has exceptional performance on end-of-course exams. In contrast, The COAST, an alternative school, has the highest spending per student but the lowest performance metrics, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive improved outcomes.
The data also reveals significant disparities in student demographics and economic disadvantage across the schools. While Town Creek Elementary and Virginia Williamson Elementary are both part of the Brunswick County Schools district, they have quite different performance profiles, highlighting the importance of school-level factors beyond just district-level policies. Overall, the data suggests that while some schools in Bolivia, North Carolina are achieving high levels of academic success, others continue to face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
