Pine Hollow Middle

Summary:

Pine Hollow Middle is a public middle school located in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving around 850 students in grades 6-8 and part of the highly-ranked Wake County Schools district.

Pine Hollow Middle consistently ranks among the top middle schools in North Carolina, with exceptional academic performance that exceeds state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's 6th, 7th, and 8th graders outperform their peers statewide in mathematics, with proficiency rates of 68.3%, 78.2%, and 74.1%, respectively, compared to 54.3%, 50.4%, and 46.9% at the state level. Pine Hollow Middle also excels in supporting the academic achievement of diverse student subgroups, with many subgroups ranking in the top 50 or even top 20 middle schools in the state. This diversity is higher than some nearby schools, such as West Cary Middle and Leesville Road Middle, which have higher percentages of White and Asian students.

While Pine Hollow Middle outperforms many nearby schools in academic metrics, it is interesting to note the differences in student demographics and socioeconomic factors. Schools like Durant Road Middle and Neal Middle have much higher percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to the observed performance gaps. Despite Pine Hollow Middle's overall strong performance, there may be opportunities for further improvement, particularly in areas where the school's performance, while still excellent, is not as dominant compared to the state and district averages, such as in 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.

Open Quote Was on track 1 for 10 years (earlier sibling included). This year my rising 7th grader was moved to track 4 with 13 days left in the year. Horrible delivery of news to kids (told kids before they told parents - during school day). No option to return to base traditional (leesville middle) as livengoof waited so late to make the notification. Appealed transfer decision and was denied. Great teachers - Horrible administration.

Open Quote My daughter is currently a 7th grader at PHMS. This school is phenomenal. My daughter loved it so much she was sad when 6th grade ended. Staff makes the academic material interesting through the use of experiements, games and food based projects. Her grades are amazing as a result! 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.
