Stokes County Schools

Summary:

The Stokes County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the district as a whole is ranked 134 out of 242 in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, there are several standout schools that excel in academic performance.

Stokes Early College High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 99 out of 640 high schools in North Carolina and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school boasts exceptional test scores, with 90.9% of students proficient or better in EOC/English II and 91.3% proficient or better in EOC/Math I. Piney Grove Middle School and West Stokes High School also demonstrate strong academic performance, with the former ranking 232 out of 793 middle schools in the state and the latter ranking 191 out of 640 high schools.

In contrast, some schools in the Stokes County Schools district face greater challenges, with higher free and reduced lunch rates and lower test scores. For example, Meadowbrook Academy has a free/reduced lunch rate of 94.55% and lower spending per student compared to the top-performing schools. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique circumstances of each school and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
