Beddingfield High

Summary:

Beddingfield High is a public high school located in Wilson, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 682. The school is part of the Wilson County Schools district, which is ranked 88 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beddingfield High faces several key challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of African American (50.88%) and Hispanic (29.91%) students compared to nearby schools, lower academic performance than the Wilson County Schools district average and the state average across subjects like Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III, and a fluctuating statewide ranking that has ranged from 290 out of 621 high schools in 2021-2022 (rated 3 stars) to 470 out of 640 high schools in 2023-2024 (rated 1 star). The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

However, Beddingfield High's proximity to the high-performing Wilson Academy of Applied Technology, which ranks among the top 10% of North Carolina high schools, suggests potential opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing. Additionally, the nearby high schools, such as James Hunt High and Fike High, also struggle to match the state's academic performance, indicating broader challenges within the Wilson County Schools district that could be addressed through targeted interventions and the implementation of best practices.

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.
