Summary:
The city of Wadesboro, North Carolina is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all of which are part of the Anson County Schools district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as the schools in Wadesboro are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.
None of the Wadesboro schools stand out as high-performing, with all of them scoring significantly below the state averages on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, and science. For example, at Anson Middle School, only 16.8% of 7th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 50.4%. The schools also have very low statewide rankings, with Anson High School and Anson Middle School ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in North Carolina.
Compounding the academic challenges, the Wadesboro schools serve a student population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 97.92% to 99.57%. While the spending per student and student-teacher ratios are generally in line with state averages, the data suggests that the schools in Wadesboro are struggling to effectively address the needs of their students and improve educational outcomes over time.
