Randolph Early College High School

Summary:

Randolph Early College High School is a public high school in Asheboro, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a diverse student population of 354. This school stands out as it consistently outperforms the Randolph County School System and the state of North Carolina in academic metrics, ranking among the top 5.6% of high schools statewide.

Randolph Early College High School's academic excellence is evident in its exceptional End-of-Course (EOC) test scores, with proficiency rates reaching 94.4% in Biology, 94.5% in English II, and 97.3% in Math III - significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking of 36th out of 640 high schools, along with its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, further underscores its exceptional performance.

Despite serving a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 46.33% of its population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Randolph Early College High School continues to deliver exceptional academic results. This achievement is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools, such as Southwestern Randolph High School, which had significantly lower proficiency rates in EOC tests. Randolph Early College High School's consistent excellence and ability to support the success of its diverse student population make it a compelling model for other schools, particularly those serving economically disadvantaged communities, to emulate.

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.
