Lenoir County Public Schools


Summary:

The Lenoir County Public Schools district in North Carolina encompasses 17 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of poverty and economic disadvantage across the schools.

While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools shine. Lenoir County Early College High ranks 98th out of 640 high schools in the state and has exceptional test scores, with 80.4% proficient or better in Biology EOC and 96.6% in English II EOC. Similarly, Moss Hill Elementary and Pink Hill Elementary are high-performing elementary schools, ranking 341st and 441st in the state, respectively.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps across the Lenoir County Public Schools district. Schools with higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students, such as Northeast Elementary and Southeast Elementary, struggle academically, with only 32.1% and 34.5% proficient in 3rd grade math, respectively. Addressing these equity gaps and supporting the lower-performing schools will be crucial for the district to improve overall.
