Career Readiness Academy at Mosley PLC

Summary:

Career Readiness Academy at Mosley PLC is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Wilmington, North Carolina, with a relatively small student population of 110 students. However, this school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 25% of high schools in the state for the past several years.

The school's academic performance is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were just 38.5% in Biology, 38.5% in English II, and 26.9% in Math I, compared to the New Hanover County Schools district averages of 62.3%, 67.4%, and 36.3%, respectively. The school's performance is especially low for female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 25-30% of high schools in the state.

When compared to other high schools in the area, Career Readiness Academy at Mosley PLC stands out as the lowest-performing school. For instance, Wilmington Early College High and SEA-Technical, both within a 6-mile radius, consistently rank in the top 25% of high schools in the state and have significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas. The school's unique focus on career readiness may contribute to its academic challenges, but addressing the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic disparities and equity issues, will be crucial for improving student success at Career Readiness Academy at Mosley PLC.

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.
