South Caldwell High

Summary:

South Caldwell High is a public high school located in Hudson, North Carolina, serving 1,317 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Caldwell County Schools district, which is ranked 151 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Caldwell High has a predominantly white student population, with 83.98% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in nearby schools like Hickory High (33.43% white) and Caldwell Early College (77.02% white). Academically, the school ranks in the middle to upper-middle range of North Carolina high schools, with performance on end-of-course exams generally on par with or slightly above the Caldwell County Schools district average, but often lagging behind the state average. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing well, but white and multi-racial students struggling.

Compared to other high schools in the area, South Caldwell High generally performs better than West Caldwell High and Hibriten High, but lags behind the exceptional performance of Caldwell Early College and Caldwell Applied Sciences Academy. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to some of the other nearby schools, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, suggesting that addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be an important area of focus.

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.
