Rosewood High

Summary:

Rosewood High is a public high school located in Goldsboro, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 469. The school is part of the Wayne County Public Schools district, which is ranked 154 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosewood High has a unique racial makeup, with a higher percentage of White students (59.28%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students. Academically, the school generally performs better than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Biology, English II, and Math III. Additionally, Rosewood High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.6 to 15.9 over the past few years, which is lower than some of the nearby schools. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 98% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Rosewood High outperforms the nearby Eastern Wayne High and Southern Wayne High schools in academic metrics, it lags behind the higher-performing Charles B Aycock High and Wayne Early/Middle College High. The Wayne School of Engineering, in particular, stands out with exceptional performance across multiple subjects and grade levels. Rosewood High's extremely high free/reduced lunch rate, coupled with its relatively low overall performance, suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement.

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.
