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.

Open Quote This school, and I'm using that term loosely, really deserves ZERO stars but I couldn't leave a review without giving at least one star. Poorly managed, poor curriculum, poor behavior expecations, poor communication, poor everything! Our children attended for two years too many. This could be a very good alternative to traditional public school however, numerous changes would have to occur for that to happen. We are happy are children are now thriving in our neighborhood schools. DO NOT put your children in this facility.Close Quote Close Quote

Open Quote If I could give 0 stars I would worst school in Pitt County. Half the teachers are not certified to even be teachers. This was our second year at WCA and will most definitely be our last. Their school grade sucks which means they are not the proficient school they claim to be. Teacher wasn't there half the year no matter what Principal Reaves, Dean Ryan, or the stand in teacher Landry tells you retaining kids based on your screw up is not right. Dean Ryan will sell you on a dream like they are doing the best interest for your child and they are not. There only concern is to improve test scores and you do not improve scores by retaining kids that don't need to be retained. Close Quote

Open Quote Please for the love of God dont send your child here the whole school just about failing. Your child report card will say one thing but at the end of the year they want to talk about holding your child back a grade. Close Quote

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.
