Martin County Schools

Summary:

The Martin County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 195 out of 242 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Rodgers Elementary and Jamesville Elementary consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 60-80% of students proficient or better in math, reading, and science. These two schools are the highest-ranked in the district, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The other schools in the district generally perform below the state averages, with some exceptions like E.J. Hayes Elementary and South Creek High, which have higher-than-district-average proficiency rates in certain subject areas.

The Martin County Schools district faces significant challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage (98-99% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch) and low overall academic performance. The stark gap between the top-performing schools and the rest of the district suggests that factors beyond just economic disadvantage are contributing to the academic outcomes. Addressing these disparities and improving the quality of education across the board should be a top priority for the district.
