South View Middle

Summary:

South View Middle is a public middle school located in Hope Mills, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 661 students. The school is part of the Cumberland County Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South View Middle faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates across core subject areas and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (58.7%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 25.04% to 51.44%. Additionally, over 98% of South View Middle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families. While the school's African American and multi-racial students perform better relative to their peers in the state, the performance for other subgroups, such as White, Hispanic, and students with disabilities, is significantly lower.

Interestingly, South View Middle is located in close proximity to several other middle schools in the Cumberland County district that are performing significantly better, such as Seventy-First Classical Middle and John R. Griffin Middle, which are both ranked in the top 25% of North Carolina middle schools. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, South View Middle's per-student spending is on the higher end, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the potential need for targeted interventions or support.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
