Alexander Central High

Summary:

Alexander Central High is a public high school located in Taylorsville, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,312 and is part of the Alexander County Schools district.

Alexander Central High consistently outperforms the state average in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Biology, Math III, and English II, with 65.5% of students proficient or better in EOC Biology compared to the state average of 53.4%. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 135 out of 531 high schools in 2014-2015 to 269 out of 640 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other high-performing schools across the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its ranking for African American and White students significantly lower than its ranking for multi-racial and disabled students.

While Alexander Central High's performance is generally stronger than nearby schools like West Iredell High and Wilkes Central High, it lags behind the exceptional performance of the early college high schools in the region, such as Alexander Early College and Challenger Early College High. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 26.5% in 2021-2022 to 46.88% in 2022-2023, indicating growing economic challenges faced by the school's community.

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.
