Hallyburton Academy

Summary:

Hallyburton Academy is a public high school located in Drexel, North Carolina, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 101 students. The school is part of the Burke County Schools district, which is ranked 110 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hallyburton Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in North Carolina, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school has seen a decrease in the percentage of White students, from 73.91% in 2020-2021 to 69.31% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of students identifying as two or more races has increased from 5.8% to 13.86% during the same period. Hallyburton Academy also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.87% in 2020-2021 to 97.03% in 2022-2023, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's students consistently perform significantly below the state and district averages in various standardized tests, and the student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, ranging from 6.2 in 2021-2022 to 9.6 in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools in the Burke County Schools district, such as Freedom High, East Burke High, Robert L. Patton High School, and Jimmy C Draughn High School, Hallyburton Academy performs significantly worse academically. However, Burke Middle College, another school in the district, stands out as an exceptional performer, ranking among the top 24-35 high schools in North Carolina and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district has the potential to support high-performing schools, but Hallyburton Academy has not been able to achieve similar levels of success.

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.
