Greene Central High

Summary:

Greene Central High is a public high school located in Snow Hill, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 752. The school is part of the Greene County Schools district, which is ranked 197 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greene Central High consistently performs below the state and district averages on End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state and district averages in Biology (21.8% vs. 53.4% and 30%), English II (37.8% vs. 59.7% and 47.4%), Math I (28.7% vs. 36.9% and 35.7%), and Math III (27.9% vs. 57.6% and 33%). The school also has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (38.56%) and Hispanic (30.98%) students compared to the state average, and an extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Nearby schools, such as Greene Early College High, Wilson Academy of Applied Technology, and Wayne Early/Middle College High, significantly outperform Greene Central High on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on EOC exams, higher school rankings, and lower percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that Greene Central High faces significant challenges in addressing the educational needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, and would benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student 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.
