Crossroads FLEX

Q: Is Crossroads FLEX a good school?

Crossroads FLEX ranks 87 th of 640 North Carolina high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Crossroads FLEX is a public virtual high school located in Cary, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 148 students. It is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 59 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crossroads FLEX consistently outperforms the Wake County Schools and North Carolina state averages in End-of-Course (EOC) exams across subjects like Biology, English II, and Math III. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Crossroads FLEX had 92.1% proficiency in EOC English II, compared to 71.5% for Wake County and 59.7% for the state. However, the school ranks relatively low (340 out of 403) for its Gifted and Talented student performance, suggesting the virtual format may not be as well-suited for their needs. Additionally, Crossroads FLEX has a significantly higher percentage of White students (79.05%) compared to nearby schools like Wake Young Women's Leadership Academy and Vernon Malone College and Career Academy, which have more diverse student populations.

The higher student-teacher ratio (24.1 in 2022-2023) at Crossroads FLEX compared to nearby traditional high schools, which range from 14.9 to 19.5 students per teacher, may impact the level of individualized attention and support available to students in the virtual setting. Despite these challenges, Crossroads FLEX has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking among the top high schools in North Carolina and earning 4-5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years, suggesting the virtual format can be effective in delivering high-quality education for the majority of the student population.

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.
