Best Public Schools in Wilmington, NC

Summary:

The city of Wilmington, North Carolina is home to 44 schools, including 29 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 8 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the New Hanover County Schools district, which is ranked 70 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Some of the standout schools in Wilmington include Ogden Elementary, ranked 3rd out of 1,505 elementary schools in North Carolina with a 5-star rating and over 90% of students proficient in math and reading, and Masonboro Elementary, ranked 11th with a 5-star rating and similarly high test scores. Dr. Hubert Eaton Senior Elementary and Isaac M. Bear Early College High School are also standout schools, with 5-star ratings and exceptional academic performance.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across Wilmington's schools, with a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and test scores. While the top-performing schools have over 80% of students proficient, the lowest-performing schools have under 30% proficiency. This suggests that addressing inequities in educational opportunities and resources will be crucial for improving outcomes for all students in the Wilmington school system.
