Summary:
The city of Hiddenite, North Carolina is home to two schools: East Alexander Middle School and Hiddenite Elementary School. Both schools serve students in the Alexander County Schools district, but neither school stands out as a clear academic leader based on the available data.
Demographically, the schools have a relatively high percentage of white students, over 70%, which is higher than the state average. However, both schools also have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the area. Academically, the schools' proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are generally below the Alexander County Schools and North Carolina state averages, suggesting a need for improvement in student performance.
While Hiddenite Elementary spends more per student than East Alexander Middle, this does not seem to translate into higher test scores or a higher statewide ranking. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor, but it does not appear to be driving higher academic achievement. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Hiddenite, North Carolina, face some challenges in terms of academic performance and student demographics, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to improve educational outcomes for students in this area.
