Havelock Middle

Summary:

Havelock Middle is a public middle school serving 395 students in grades 6-8 in Havelock, North Carolina, which is part of the Craven County Board of Education district. While the school's student population has become more diverse in recent years, Havelock Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic achievement, ranking in the bottom quarter of North Carolina middle schools.

Havelock Middle's academic performance has steadily declined over the past decade, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 1-star rating in the most recent years. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of North Carolina middle schools for White, African American, and Gifted and Talented students. This underperformance is particularly concerning given that over 96% of Havelock Middle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Grover C Fields Middle and Tucker Creek Middle, as well as middle schools in the Onslow County and Carteret County districts, Havelock Middle's academic performance and school ranking are significantly lower. These neighboring schools consistently outperform Havelock Middle across various metrics, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Havelock Middle.

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.
