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.
