Hoke County Schools

Summary:

The Hoke County Schools district in North Carolina comprises 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools like SandHoke Early College High consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others like Hawk Eye Elementary struggle with low proficiency rates.

The district's schools face significant challenges, with all of them having extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This correlation between poverty and academic performance is evident, as the schools with the highest poverty levels tend to have the lowest test scores. The wide range in spending per student, from $6,937 at SandHoke Early College High to $19,154 at J W Turlington School, raises concerns about equity and resource allocation within the district.

Despite these challenges, a few schools stand out as bright spots, including Don D Steed Elementary and Rockfish Hoke Elementary, which demonstrate strong academic performance and exceed district and state averages in many areas. Addressing the disparities in academic achievement and ensuring equitable access to resources will be critical for improving outcomes across the Hoke County Schools district.
