Summary:
The 27016 zip code area is home to a single public high school, North Stokes High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance, as measured by end-of-course test scores, is consistently below the Stokes County Schools district and North Carolina state averages across multiple subjects, including Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III.
North Stokes High School's proficiency rates range from 25% in Math I to 52% in Math III, compared to the district averages of 53.1% and 66%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 334 out of 621 high schools in 2021-2022 to 478 out of 640 high schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, a high proportion of the school's students (53.21%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,520), the academic challenges and declining performance suggest the need for a deeper investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these issues. Developing targeted strategies to address the school's performance concerns and support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population may be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the community.
