Summary:

Asheboro High is a public high school in Asheboro, North Carolina, serving 1,339 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Randolph County School System, which is ranked 198 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Asheboro High faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (54.89%) and a much lower percentage of White (25.02%) and Asian (2.02%) students compared to the state average and nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is consistently below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Biology (47.6%), English II (56.4%), Math I (21.3%), and Math III (35.2%) were all lower than the state and district averages. Asheboro High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a ranking of 461 out of 640 in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (69.08%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and the disparities observed among different student subgroups. While Asheboro High is located in Asheboro, it is in close proximity to several higher-performing schools in the Randolph County School System, such as Wheatmore High School and Randolph Early College High School, which may provide valuable insights and opportunities for collaboration to help improve Asheboro High's academic outcomes.

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.
