Summary:
The city of La Grange, North Carolina is home to 3 public schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Lenoir County Public Schools district. The data reveals a mix of performance, with E.B. Frink Middle School standing out as the highest-performing school, while North Lenoir High School consistently lags behind.
E.B. Frink Middle School is the clear standout, with higher proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science compared to the district and state averages. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the area. In contrast, North Lenoir High School is the lowest-performing school, with consistently low proficiency rates on End-of-Course assessments and a 1-star rating. This suggests the high school may need additional support to improve student outcomes.
Across the schools, there are concerns about equity, as all three serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with over 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This raises questions about the availability of resources and opportunities for these students compared to more affluent areas. However, understanding the factors contributing to E.B. Frink Middle School's success could provide insights to help improve performance at the other schools in La Grange.
