Summary:
The city of Oxford, North Carolina is home to 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 3 alternative schools. The schools in this area exhibit a mix of high-performing and low-performing institutions, with significant disparities in student demographics, academic achievement, and resource allocation.
The standout schools in the area are Oxford Preparatory, a public charter school that consistently outperforms state averages in math, reading, and science, and Granville Academy, a public virtual alternative school that also demonstrates strong academic results. In contrast, the other schools in the Granville County Schools district, such as J.F. Webb High, Northern Granville Middle, West Oxford Elementary, and C.G. Credle Elementary, often perform significantly below state averages, particularly in reading and math.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic and racial disparities among the schools, with the alternative schools, such as Granville Academy and Phoenix Academy, having much higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients and more diverse student populations compared to the higher-performing Oxford Preparatory. These disparities are further reflected in the varying levels of per-student spending across the schools, which may contribute to the observed performance gaps.
