Middle Schools in Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools


Summary:

The Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 16 middle schools serving grades 6-8, with a wide range of academic performance and student demographics. While some schools like Meadowlark Middle and Lewisville Middle consistently rank among the top middle schools in the state, others like Mineral Springs Middle and Philo-Hill Magnet Academy struggle with very low proficiency rates in math and reading.

The district exhibits significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools like Clemmons Middle spending over $29,000 per student while others like Lowrance Middle spend less than $8,000. However, higher spending does not necessarily translate to better outcomes. Additionally, schools with the highest poverty rates, as measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility, tend to be the lowest performing academically.

Overall, the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district faces significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities across its middle schools. Addressing the disparities and supporting the lowest-performing schools will be critical for improving student outcomes and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education.
