Watauga County Schools


Summary:

The Watauga County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 11 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The district serves a diverse range of students, with some standout high-performing schools as well as a few lower-performing institutions.

However, the significant performance gaps between schools suggest opportunities for the Watauga County Schools district to learn from its highest-performing institutions and provide more targeted support to its lower-performing schools.
