Eastern Alamance High

Summary:

Eastern Alamance High is a public high school located in Mebane, North Carolina, serving 1,256 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, which is ranked 174 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Western Alamance High and Southern Alamance High, Eastern Alamance High has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American (27.15%) and Hispanic (20.38%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by end-of-course test scores, is generally lower than the surrounding schools and the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Biology (36.3%), English II (48.1%), Math I (37%), and Math III (42.3%) were all below the Alamance-Burlington Schools district and North Carolina state averages.

The school's performance on various student subgroups is also concerning, with the rankings for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students significantly lower than the state averages, indicating achievement gaps for these populations. Additionally, Eastern Alamance High's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the years, from a high of 137th out of 476 North Carolina high schools and a 4-star rating in 2016-2017 to a current ranking of 468th out of 640 high schools and a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. These challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to address the school's declining performance and achievement gaps, including a review of educational practices, targeted interventions, and a focus on equity and inclusion.

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.
