Sampson County Schools

The Sampson County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 18 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving a diverse student population with a high rate of economic disadvantage.

The district has a few standout schools, such as Sampson Early College High, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state with exceptional test scores, and Hobbton Elementary, which has shown consistent improvement in its performance. Other strong performers include Plain View Elementary, which has maintained a high rating and strong academic results. However, the district as a whole is underperforming, with a 2-star rating, suggesting that there is room for improvement across the schools.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools like Sampson Early College High excelling, while others, such as Union Intermediate and Roseboro-Salemburg Middle, struggle to meet state standards. This gap in performance may be linked to the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population, which range from 98.55% to 99.6% across the district. The district's spending per student also varies widely, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.
