Davie County High

Summary:

Davie County High is a public high school located in Mocksville, North Carolina, serving 1,770 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Davie County Schools district, which is ranked 94 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Davie County High has a unique student demographic, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (71.81%) compared to the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Course (EOC) test scores, is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages, but there are notable disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school performs well for multi-racial students, but struggles with Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom quarter of the state for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has seen a sharp increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 26.35% in 2020-2021 to 42.32% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, Davie County High generally performs on par or slightly better than schools in the Davidson County and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school districts, but lags behind the high-performing Davie County Early College High and Yadkin Early College. This suggests that Davie County High could benefit from learning best practices from these higher-performing schools to address its own challenges and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
