South View High

Summary:

South View High is a public high school located in Hope Mills, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,502 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 High faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with a student population that is predominantly African American (46.01%) and economically disadvantaged (65.91% receive free or reduced-price lunch). The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its proficiency rates on End-of-Course (EOC) exams are significantly lower than the Cumberland County Schools and North Carolina state averages across all subject areas. In contrast, nearby schools like Cumberland International Early College and Cross Creek Early College rank in the top 5% and top 10% of North Carolina high schools, respectively.

The declining performance of South View High, with its steady drop in statewide ranking over the past several years, is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom half or bottom quarter of North Carolina high schools. This suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to improve outcomes for all students and potentially learn from the strategies employed by the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
