Mount Tabor High School

Summary:

Mount Tabor High School is a public high school serving 1,431 students in grades 9-12 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district. The school's student population has become more diverse in recent years, with a decrease in white students and an increase in Hispanic students.

Academically, Mount Tabor High School's performance on state end-of-course exams is generally below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates lower than the district and state in subjects like Biology, English II, and Math I. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with white students consistently outperforming African American, Hispanic, and low-income students. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 36.9% in 2020-2021 to 59.33% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families.

When compared to other high schools in the district, Mount Tabor High School generally performs worse academically. For example, the nearby Ronald W. Reagan High School, which serves a more affluent and less diverse student population, consistently outperforms Mount Tabor on state exams. These performance gaps between different racial and socioeconomic subgroups suggest that Mount Tabor High School may be struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students, which is a concern that the district and school leadership should address.

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.
