Robbinsville High

Summary:

Robbinsville High is a public high school in Robbinsville, North Carolina, serving 363 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Graham County Schools district, which is ranked 199 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robbinsville High has a unique student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Native American students (17.36%) compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Course (EOC) test scores, is generally below the state average across subjects like Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III. Interestingly, the school performs particularly well for its Native American students, ranking 3rd out of 15 schools in 2023-2024, but much lower for its White students (438th out of 553) and Gifted and Talented students (338th out of 403). Additionally, Robbinsville High has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 41.02% in 2020-2021 to 65.56% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools like Hayesville High and Andrews High, Robbinsville High generally underperforms on academic measures. For example, in 2023-2024, Hayesville High had significantly higher proficiency rates in Biology (58.3%), English II (66.4%), and Math III (71%) than Robbinsville High. This suggests that the school and district may need to identify and address the root causes of the performance gaps, particularly among different student subgroups, and provide targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for all 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.
