Best Public Schools in Kenansville, NC

Summary:

The city of Kenansville, North Carolina is home to two schools: Kenansville Elementary and Duplin Early College High. These schools serve students from diverse backgrounds, with high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the exceptionally high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Duplin Early College High stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of North Carolina high schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several key subjects. In contrast, Kenansville Elementary struggles to meet state averages in many areas, despite some bright spots in its academic performance, particularly in 3rd and 4th-grade math and reading assessments.

The stark contrast in performance between the two schools highlights the potential impact of factors such as school type, student demographics, and resource allocation on academic outcomes. While Kenansville Elementary faces significant challenges due to the high poverty rates in the community, the success of Duplin Early College High suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from and replicate effective strategies across the Duplin County Schools district.
