Thomasville High faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with proficiency rates on End-of-Course (EOC) exams well below the state average across all subjects. This trend has been declining over the past few years, with performance dropping in most subjects. The school's student subgroups, including African American and Hispanic students, also rank in the bottom quarter of high schools in the state, indicating significant equity issues. With 97.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Thomasville High serves a highly economically disadvantaged population.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Oak Grove High, Penn-Griffin Schools, and Wheatmore High School generally outperform Thomasville High on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Higher-performing schools in the region, such as Davidson Early College and Middle College at GTCC-High Point, demonstrate that the challenges faced by Thomasville High may be surmountable with the right resources and strategies.

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.
