Red Springs Middle

Summary:

Red Springs Middle is a public middle school located in Red Springs, North Carolina, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 596 students. The school is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 216 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Red Springs Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools, with its students significantly underperforming their peers across the state on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, and science. The school's student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, Hispanic, Native American, and low socioeconomic status students, all perform poorly compared to their counterparts statewide. For example, the school's Native American students ranked 20th out of 21 North Carolina middle schools, with a 0 out of 5 star rating. The school's high poverty rates, with over 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to these academic challenges.

While Red Springs Middle's funding and staffing levels are comparable to nearby schools, such as Saint Pauls Middle, Pembroke Middle, and schools in the Cumberland County and Hoke County districts, these nearby schools generally outperform Red Springs Middle on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Addressing the root causes of Red Springs Middle's low performance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.

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.
