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.

Open Quote We love Scurlock! The teachers have all been wonderful and the administration really cares for the kids! They listen to your concerns and help find a solution that will work for your child. The school is older than some of the other schools in the county, so it looks rough! But you cant judge a book by it's cover! it's great! My son is in first grade and he started there in Pre-K. We are military as well, and they really try to help their students who are dealing with deployment and long training. Close Quote

Open Quote Hoke County has Scurlock Elementary School in its district. This is the worst school I have ever seen. Having been across the US and overseas, I have never witnessed a school that gives it student all A's and B's then says that the student will be retained in the 3rd grade due to a test. The school was asked in the beginning of the 2013/14 school yr to test the student for reading problems but the teacher and principal both said it was not their responsibility. When parent had testing done, school refused to acknowledge the disability (Irlen Syndrome). Look it up, it is real but my grandson now is told he must redo 3rd grade because plans were already in motion for him to leave the state the day school got out. I would never recommend anyone move into this school district. Close Quote

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.
