Summary:
The city of Rose Hill, North Carolina is home to two public schools - Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary and Union High, which serve students in the Duplin County Schools and Sampson County Schools districts. Unfortunately, both schools are performing significantly below state and district averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings.
Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary is ranked in the bottom 1% of North Carolina elementary schools, with test scores in mathematics, reading, and science that are 20-40 percentage points below state and district averages. Similarly, Union High School ranks in the bottom 25% of North Carolina high schools, with end-of-course test scores below the state and district averages in subjects like Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III.
Both schools serve predominantly low-income student populations, with over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the students. While the schools have adequate resources in terms of per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the data suggests that these resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning and improve educational outcomes in the Rose Hill community.
