South Creek Middle

Summary:

South Creek Middle is a public middle school located in Robersonville, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 204. The school is part of the Martin County Schools district, which is ranked 195 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Creek Middle faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (64.22%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 46% to 75.58% African American students. Academically, South Creek Middle consistently underperforms the state and district averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.3% of 6th graders were proficient in mathematics, compared to the state average of 54.3%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 98.53% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby Pitt County and Edgecombe County schools, which range from 98.64% to 99.36%.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby schools, South Creek Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools, with a ranking of 657 out of 793 in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This persistent underperformance suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses the school's unique local context and the 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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at South Creek Middle

2022	218	17.5	12.4	98.6

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
