Best Public Schools in Danbury, NC

Summary:

The city of Danbury, North Carolina has only one public high school, North Stokes High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 280 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 90% of students identifying as white. However, North Stokes High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past three years, dropping from 334 out of 621 North Carolina high schools in 2021-2022 to 478 out of 640 in 2023-2024.

Academically, North Stokes High School's proficiency rates in End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally lower than the Stokes County Schools and North Carolina state averages. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 25% in Math I to 52% in Math III, compared to the state averages of 36.9% and 57.6%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (53.21%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant economic challenges.

Despite the relatively high spending per student of $14,520 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year, North Stokes High School's academic performance and overall school quality appear to be declining. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its educational outcomes, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and better support the students in the Danbury community.
