Summary:
The city of Snow Hill, North Carolina is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this district face significant challenges, with most students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and the majority of schools performing well below state averages on standardized tests.
The standout school in the district is Greene Early College High, which consistently ranks among the top 20% of high schools in North Carolina and outperforms the district and state on test scores. In contrast, the other high school in the district, Greene Central High, ranks in the bottom 20% of high schools statewide and has significantly lower test scores. The early college model appears to be more effective in this district, suggesting an opportunity to replicate this success at the other high school.
Across the Greene County Schools district, the student population is diverse, with a significant percentage of African American and Hispanic students. However, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 98% to 99.6%, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage that may be contributing to the overall low academic performance. Addressing these socioeconomic challenges could be a key strategy for improving outcomes for students in the Snow Hill area.
