Best Public Schools in Macon, NC

Summary:

The city of Macon, North Carolina has only one school in the data set, Vaughan Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Vaughan Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 98.16% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Academically, Vaughan Elementary's performance is consistently below the district average for Warren County Schools and the state of North Carolina. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading range from 26.9% to 57.9% and 30.8% to 47.4%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 56.6% to 62.7% in mathematics and 48.7% to 52.8% in reading. However, the school's performance in science, with a 73.7% proficiency rate, exceeds the state average of 66.2%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $14,074 for the 2018-2019 school year, Vaughan Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 22.2 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the recommended ratio for effective instruction. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and staffing to better support student learning and address the persistent academic underperformance.
