Nash County Public Schools

Summary:

The Nash County Public Schools district in North Carolina encompasses 28 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from diverse backgrounds and performance levels.

While the district as a whole is ranked 177th out of 242 districts in the state, several standout schools shine within the system. NRM Early College High School and CITI High School rank among the top high schools in North Carolina, with exceptional test scores and 4-star ratings. At the elementary level, Coopers Elementary and Bailey Elementary also stand out with high proficiency rates in math, reading, and science.

However, the data also reveals stark contrasts in performance, with some schools struggling to meet academic standards. There appears to be a correlation between schools with high free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic achievement, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student success. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted interventions could be crucial in ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students within the Nash County Public Schools district.
