Summary:
The Transylvania County Schools district in North Carolina is home to three high schools: Brevard High, Rosman High, and Davidson River School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Rosman High stands out as a top performer, ranking 173 out of 640 North Carolina high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in End-of-Course (EOC) test scores, particularly in Biology, Math I, and Math III. With a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, Rosman High provides a more personalized learning environment for its students. Brevard High is another high-achieving school, consistently ranking among the top high schools in North Carolina and outperforming the district and state in EOC test scores, including English II and Math III.
In contrast, Davidson River School struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state in all EOC subjects. Despite having the highest spending per student at $16,825, the school's performance suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole factor in improving student outcomes. Additionally, Davidson River School has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 69.86%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
