Best Public Schools in Smyrna, NC


Summary:

The city of Smyrna, North Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Down East Middle and Smyrna Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 249 students. This school is part of the Carteret County Public Schools district, which is ranked 35 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating.

Down East Middle and Smyrna Elementary is a standout school in several ways. Academically, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Reading. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 93.17% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 98.8% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school, it is providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's spending per student of $11,100 (in the 2018-2019 school year) may be a contributing factor to its academic success. However, the lack of racial diversity in the student body may be an area for the school and district to explore and address in order to enhance the educational experience for all students.
