Surry County Schools

Summary:

The Surry County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 20 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is ranked 80th out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out in the district, including Surry Early College, which ranks 58th out of 640 high schools in North Carolina and has a 5-star rating. This school has exceptional test scores, with 83.8% proficient or better in Biology EOC, 92% in English II EOC, 82.1% in Math I EOC, and 93% in Math III EOC. Shoals Elementary and Pilot Mountain Middle also stand out, ranking 168th and 87th in the state, respectively, and earning 4-star ratings.

However, the district also faces significant performance gaps, with some schools, such as Flat Rock Elementary, struggling with lower test scores and higher poverty rates. The district's specialized magnet and early college programs appear to be driving strong academic performance, but ensuring equitable access to quality education across the district will be an important focus area going forward.
