Cs Brown High - STEM Program

Q: Is Cs Brown High - STEM Program a good school?

Cs Brown High - STEM Program ranks 133 rd of 640 North Carolina high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cs Brown High - STEM Program is a small public high school in Winton, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 73. Despite being part of the Hertford County Schools district, which is ranked 152 out of 242 districts in the state, Cs Brown High - STEM Program consistently outperforms its peers in academic performance.

The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Biology (88.2% vs. 60.5% for the district and 53.4% for the state), English II (72.2% vs. 48.2% for the district and 59.7% for the state), and Math I (67.9% vs. 43.1% for the district and 36.9% for the state). This strong academic performance is especially notable for the school's predominantly African American student population, which ranges from 85.14% to 87.06% over the past three years, far exceeding the racial diversity of nearby schools like Hertford County High (87.26% African American) and Gates County Senior High (31.73% African American).

However, Cs Brown High - STEM Program also faces unique challenges, with a very high percentage of students (over 95%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby Hertford County Early College (98.26%). This suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present challenges in terms of academic support, resources, and student engagement. Despite these obstacles, Cs Brown High - STEM Program has shown improvement in recent years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 133rd out of 640 high schools in North Carolina.

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.
