Summary:

Warren County Middle is a public middle school in Warrenton, North Carolina, serving 402 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Warren County Schools district, which is ranked 208 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warren County Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 700-750 out of around 800 schools. The school's performance on state standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. When analyzing specific student subgroups, Warren County Middle struggles the most with its White, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of North Carolina middle schools for these groups. The school spends approximately $13,208 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than the nearby STEM Early High ($7,944 per student), and has a higher student-teacher ratio of around 15:1 compared to Vance County Middle School (16.7:1).

Warren County Middle's student population is predominantly African American (around 70%) and has an extremely high percentage (over 98%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's consistent underperformance and racial and socioeconomic disparities highlight the need to address the underlying factors contributing to these achievement gaps. Comparing Warren County Middle to the nearby STEM Early High School, which serves a similar demographic but outperforms the school, suggests that factors beyond just student population may be contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
