The city of Swanquarter, North Carolina is home to a single public school, Mattamuskeet School, which serves grades PK-12. Mattamuskeet School is an alternative school that is part of the Hyde County Schools district, which is ranked 91 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.
Mattamuskeet School has a diverse student population, with 51.74% White, 29.02% African American, 15.14% Hispanic, and 4.1% two or more races. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, Mattamuskeet School's proficiency rate is 43.5%, compared to 48.4% for the district and 62.7% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students (99.05%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's lower test scores, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which is lower than the national average of around 16 to 1. Additionally, Mattamuskeet School spends $17,035 per student, which is higher than the national average of around $12,000 per student.
