Rockingham County High

Summary:

Rockingham County High is a public high school located in Reidsville, North Carolina, serving 882 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Rockingham County Schools district, which is ranked 160 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rockingham County High has a predominantly white student population, with 77.1% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than nearby schools like Reidsville High (27.89% white) and John M Morehead High (51.47% white). Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district average, but lags behind the state average in most subjects. Hispanic students consistently outperform the school's overall performance, while African American and multi-racial students perform significantly worse.

Rockingham County High faces a combination of demographic and academic challenges. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, and it generally performs in the middle to lower range when compared to other high schools in the Guilford County Schools district and the surrounding area. The presence of the high-performing Rockingham County Early College High, located less than a mile away, highlights the potential for students to access a more rigorous academic environment within the same geographic area.

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.
