C C Griffin Middle

Summary:

C C Griffin Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Concord, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 959 students. The school is part of the Cabarrus County Schools district, which is ranked 75 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

C C Griffin Middle has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (26.38%) and Hispanic (27.95%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG tests, is generally lower than the Cabarrus County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, C C Griffin Middle has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.31% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively lower student-teacher ratio (15.5 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, which may provide more individualized attention for students.

Interestingly, while C C Griffin Middle's overall academic performance is lower than the district and state averages, its African American and Gifted and Talented student subgroups perform relatively better, ranking 191 out of 560 and 215 out of 461 North Carolina middle schools, respectively, in 2023-2024. However, the nearby schools, such as Mount Pleasant Middle, Hickory Ridge Middle, and J N Fries Magnet School, generally outperform C C Griffin Middle in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This performance gap may be partly attributed to C C Griffin Middle's lower per-student spending of $8,618 in 2018-2019 compared to the 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.
