Best Public Schools in Warrensville, NC

Summary:

The city of Warrensville, North Carolina is home to two schools - Ashe County Middle School and Blue Ridge Elementary School. These schools serve students from the surrounding Ashe County Schools district, which has a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Ashe County Middle School stands out as an exceptional performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of middle schools in North Carolina and significantly outperforming the state averages on standardized tests. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, high test scores, and low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 suggest it is providing a high-quality education and effectively supporting student learning. In contrast, Blue Ridge Elementary School has a more average performance, with a 3-star rating and test scores closer to the state averages, though still better in several areas.

Both schools have a high percentage of White students, with Ashe County Middle School at 84.09% and Blue Ridge Elementary at 92.22%, indicating a lack of racial diversity that the district may want to address. Additionally, over 60% of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the high poverty rates in the Warrensville area. Despite these challenges, the district appears to be providing adequate funding and staffing resources, with relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios at both schools.
