J W Turlington School

Summary:

J W Turlington School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Raeford, North Carolina, with a total enrollment of just 57 students. As part of the Hoke County Schools district, which is ranked 167 out of 242 districts in the state, J W Turlington School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in North Carolina.

The school's academic performance is very poor, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and rankings between 420 and 617 out of over 600 high schools in the state over the past decade. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like SandHoke Early College High, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in North Carolina. J W Turlington School's student population is predominantly non-White, with a majority of African American students (47.37%) and significant percentages of Hispanic (17.54%) and Native American (14.04%) students. Additionally, the school serves an extremely economically disadvantaged student population, with 87.5% to 94.74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Despite the school's high spending per student, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages, J W Turlington School has been unable to effectively utilize its resources to improve student outcomes. This persistent underperformance and the significant racial and socioeconomic disparities within the school suggest that J W Turlington School is facing complex challenges that will require a multifaceted approach to address and support the unique needs of its student population.

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.
