Summary:

Apex Middle is a public middle school in Apex, North Carolina, serving 905 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 59th out of 242 districts in the state.

Apex Middle consistently performs above the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science significantly higher than the Wake County and North Carolina averages. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 15% of North Carolina middle schools for several years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Apex Middle's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students, who consistently rank in the top quartile of North Carolina middle schools. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 68.62% White, 8.95% African American, 13.26% Hispanic, and 4.64% Asian, it has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (23.76%) compared to the state and district averages.

Apex Middle's consistent academic excellence suggests the school has effective teaching practices and a strong curriculum. However, the school should continue to address any achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic or racial background. Compared to other high-performing middle schools in the area, such as Holly Grove Middle and Davis Drive Middle, Apex Middle's performance is generally on par or slightly better, but some schools like Mills Park Middle and Apex Friendship Middle outperform Apex Middle, particularly in Mathematics and Reading.

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.

The school its self is old and needs some updating Close Quote

Wednesday, April 24, 2019

The teachers are cruel and consistently elevate things, and this is coming from a straight A's SSA student with a nearly spotless record. The lunch room is understaffed and adding on top with the fact that lunch is twenty minutes long it is not uncommon for people to miss meals. The school is old, ugly, and its age is the probable cause of why four years in a row the school has been closed as a result of a broken heating pipe. The school is also not located in a nice part of town, and many kids are disrespectful to the point of me wondering if they actually are mentally diseased. Close Quote

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.
