Middle Schools in Wayne County Public Schools

Summary:

The Wayne County Public Schools district in North Carolina is home to 9 middle schools serving students in grades 6-8. These schools vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics, providing parents with a range of educational options for their children.

Among the standout schools, Rosewood Middle and Greenwood Middle rank in the top 30-40% of North Carolina middle schools, with strong academic performance and relatively low student-teacher ratios. In contrast, Brogden Middle, Eastern Wayne Middle, and Dillard Middle struggle with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

Across the district, the middle schools face significant challenges, with all schools having extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While spending per student varies, the data suggests a potential relationship between higher spending and better academic outcomes. Ultimately, understanding the factors contributing to the stark performance disparities between schools will be crucial for the Wayne County Public Schools district in developing strategies to support all students and ensure equitable educational opportunities.
