High Schools in Davidson County Schools

Summary:

The Davidson County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 10 high schools that vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics. While some schools, like Davidson Early College and Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy, demonstrate exceptional academic performance, others, such as Davidson County High School, struggle with low proficiency rates.

The data reveals a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with schools that have higher free/reduced lunch rates tending to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, the schools in the district vary significantly in size, from 86 students at Davidson County High School to 958 students at Oak Grove High, which may impact the resources and support available to students.

The Davidson County Schools district also exhibits inconsistent school ratings, with a wide range of SchoolDigger ratings from 0 stars to 5 stars, suggesting that the quality of education can vary significantly within the same district. This highlights potential equity concerns, as some schools with higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students appear to underperform compared to their more affluent and predominantly white counterparts.
