Weldon City Schools

The Weldon City Schools district in North Carolina serves 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district faces significant academic challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages on standardized tests and earning low ratings from SchoolDigger.

The standout school in the district is Roanoke Valley Early College, a high school that outperforms the other schools and the district/state averages on EOC exams. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle academically, with very low proficiency rates. The other high school, Weldon STEM High School Career Academies, has lower proficiency rates than Roanoke Valley Early College but still performs better than the lower grade levels.

The schools in the Weldon City Schools district have a very high percentage of African American students and students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.76% to 98.77%. The per-student spending and student-teacher ratios also vary significantly across the schools, which may contribute to the disparities in academic performance. Overall, the district's low ranking and poor SchoolDigger rating suggest a need for comprehensive improvements to ensure all students in Weldon City Schools have access to quality education.
