Best Public Schools in Pembroke, NC


Summary:

The city of Pembroke, North Carolina is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a predominantly Native American student population, with some schools having up to 92% Native American enrollment. While the Old Main STREAM Academy, a public charter elementary school, stands out with top-tier academic performance and a statewide ranking in the top 33%, the traditional public schools in the Public Schools of Robeson County district face significant challenges, with test scores generally below state averages and stagnant rankings in the bottom 30% of their respective school types.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance between the charter school and the traditional public schools. Old Main STREAM Academy outperforms the district and state averages on most test scores, while schools like Pembroke Elementary and Union Chapel Elementary lag behind. This disparity may be linked to the extremely high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 99% to 99.6%, across the traditional public schools, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges in the Pembroke community.

The data also highlights the need for targeted strategies and resources to address the educational needs of the predominantly Native American student population in Pembroke.
