Summary:
The Yadkin County Schools district in North Carolina is home to three high schools: Forbush High, Starmount High, and Yadkin Early College. While all three schools serve high school students, the data reveals that Yadkin Early College stands out as the district's top-performing institution.
Yadkin Early College has consistently ranked among the top 105 high schools in North Carolina, earning 4-star and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores significantly outpace the district and state averages across all subject areas, with over 80% proficiency in Biology, English II, and Math III. Additionally, Yadkin Early College has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (39.42%) compared to the other two high schools, suggesting a more affluent student population. Interestingly, the school's spending per student ($6,070) is the lowest among the three, indicating that Yadkin Early College is able to achieve high academic performance with relatively fewer resources.
In contrast, Forbush High and Starmount High have lower rankings and test scores compared to Yadkin Early College, as well as higher free or reduced-price lunch rates. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in academic achievement, and that the success of Yadkin Early College's early college program could serve as a model for improving educational outcomes in the district.
