The school is part of the Dare County Schools district, which is ranked 102 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Manteo Middle School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students compared to the nearby First Flight Middle School.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for special education and English Language Learners but struggling with Hispanic and gifted and talented students.

Manteo Middle School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.89% to 46.34% over the past three school years. While the school faces some challenges, it also has strengths in its diverse student population and strong performance for certain subgroups. By addressing the identified areas of concern and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Manteo Middle School has the potential to improve its overall performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
