Summary:
The city of New London, North Carolina is home to two public schools, North Stanly High and North Stanly Middle, which serve students in grades 9-12 and 6-8 respectively. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state and county averages across a range of academic metrics.
Both North Stanly High and North Stanly Middle have consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina schools, with 1-star or 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past three years. Their proficiency rates on state exams, such as End-of-Course and End-of-Grade tests, are significantly lower than the Stanly County Schools and North Carolina state averages across all subjects. Additionally, the schools serve a majority white student population with relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting they may be serving a more economically disadvantaged community.
The data also indicates that the schools have lower spending per student and slightly higher student-teacher ratios compared to the state average, which could be contributing factors to their academic underperformance. While there are no clear standout schools in the data set, the consistent underperformance of North Stanly High and North Stanly Middle suggests a need for targeted interventions and a deeper investigation into the underlying issues affecting student outcomes in this area.
