Flat Rock Middle faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state. The school has a statewide ranking between 680-745 out of 741-793 middle schools over the past 5 years and has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance. Proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, the school's 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was just 12.3% in 2023-2024, compared to 36.6% for the district and 46.9% for the state. Additionally, Flat Rock Middle's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Economically Disadvantaged students, consistently rank in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools, suggesting significant achievement gaps.

Flat Rock Middle's academic performance lags behind nearby higher-performing schools, such as Hanes Magnet School, Meadowlark Middle, and Thomas Jefferson Middle. These schools have higher proficiency rates, better statewide rankings, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The high poverty rates, significant achievement gaps, and lack of improvement at Flat Rock Middle suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues affecting student achievement.

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.
