Northwoods Park Middle has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a racial makeup of 46.8% White, 26.89% African American, 16.28% Hispanic, and 10.04% other races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages, as well as the nearby schools like Swansboro Middle, Dixon Middle, and New Bridge Middle. Northwoods Park Middle has consistently been in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5.

The data reveals significant achievement gaps between different racial groups at Northwoods Park Middle, with Hispanic students outperforming African American and White students across multiple subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.47% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with nearby high-performing schools could help Northwoods Park Middle improve its overall performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
