Best Public Schools in Stem, NC

Summary:

The city of Stem, North Carolina has only one public high school, Granville Central High, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 638 students. The school's student population is diverse, with a majority of Hispanic (38.87%) and African American (30.88%) students, as well as a significant percentage of White (23.35%) students.

Academically, Granville Central High is underperforming compared to the Granville County Schools district and the state of North Carolina. The school's proficiency rates in end-of-course (EOC) tests range from 14.2% in Math I to 35.8% in English II, significantly lower than the district's 26.8% to 49.4% and the state's 36.9% to 59.7%. This consistent low performance has earned the school a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, with its statewide ranking ranging from 503 out of 626 high schools in 2022-2023 to 571 out of 640 high schools in 2023-2024.

The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students (74.45%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $9,737 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.7 suggest that the school may lack the necessary resources and support to effectively address the educational needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student body.
