Whiteville City Schools

The Whiteville City Schools district in North Carolina serves a diverse student population across 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high poverty levels and a mix of racial/ethnic groups represented in the student body. While some schools, like Central Middle and Edgewood Elementary, show promising academic performance in certain areas, the overall test scores indicate room for improvement, especially at the high school level.

Central Middle stands out as a top performer, ranking 317 out of 793 North Carolina middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores. Edgewood Elementary also excels, with 76.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 62.7% statewide. However, Whiteville High's End-of-Course (EOC) test scores are generally below the state averages, with the exception of Math III.

The Whiteville City Schools district as a whole faces significant equity concerns, with high poverty levels and diverse student populations. The small North Whiteville Academy, with only 25 students, appears to be a targeted alternative school option within the district. Overall, the district's 3-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates average performance compared to other districts in North Carolina, suggesting a need for continued improvement and a focus on providing quality education for all students.
