Cedar Creek Middle

Summary:

Cedar Creek Middle is a public middle school located in Youngsville, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 515 and is part of the Franklin County Schools district.

While Cedar Creek Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 43.3% White, 31.65% African American, and 18.83% Hispanic students, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on End-of-Grade (EOG) tests, is generally higher than the Franklin County Schools district average but lower than the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, Cedar Creek Middle's 8th-grade math proficiency rate was 37.8%, compared to the district's 31.9% and the state's 46.9%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 197 out of 694 middle schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 456 out of 793 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), placing it in the middle to lower range of North Carolina middle schools. Interestingly, Cedar Creek Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American students ranking 163 out of 560 middle schools (4-star rating) and its Hispanic students ranking 420 out of 564 (1-star rating) in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Rolesville Middle, a Wake County school located about 9 miles away that consistently outperforms Cedar Creek Middle on EOG tests and has a higher statewide ranking, Cedar Creek Middle's academic performance is generally lower. Additionally, the school's socioeconomic factors, with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 39.93% to 53.59% over the past few years, may be contributing to the challenges it faces in improving overall academic achievement and addressing equity and achievement gaps within its diverse student population.

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.
