High Schools in Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington

Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the area, with a total enrollment of 385 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 34.29% White, 33.51% African American, and 20.78% Hispanic students.

While Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington has seen an improvement in its School Digger ranking, from 446 out of 626 North Carolina high schools in 2022-2023 to 321 out of 640 in 2023-2024, the school still has a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's test scores show a mixed performance, with some subject areas, such as 6th grade reading and 8th grade science, outperforming the state average, while others, like Math I and Math III end-of-course exams, lag significantly behind. The school's high percentage (99.22%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the challenges, Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which may be beneficial for providing more individualized attention to students. The school's diverse student population and focus on leadership development for young women could be seen as strengths, but there is still room for improvement in academic performance, particularly in mathematics.
