James B Dudley High

Summary:

James B Dudley High is a public magnet high school in Greensboro, North Carolina that serves 1,491 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

James B Dudley High consistently performs below state and district averages on end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.6% to 40.6% in core subjects like Math and English, compared to state averages of 36.9% to 59.7%. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 538 out of 640 high schools in North Carolina. While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall average, other subgroups like female, male, low-income, and gifted students perform significantly lower. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby magnet schools like Middle College at GTCC-Greensboro and UNCG Early/Middle College.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at James B Dudley High, with over 99% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. This is in contrast to nearby magnet schools like Grimsley High and Page High, which have more racially diverse student populations. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, the significant disparities in educational opportunities within the Guilford County district warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve outcomes at James B Dudley High.

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.
