South Granville High

Summary:

South Granville High is a public high school located in Creedmoor, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 709. The school is part of the Granville County Schools district, which is ranked 190 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Granville County school system, South Granville High has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on End-of-Course (EOC) exams. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state and district in key subjects like Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III. This underperformance is reflected in the school's statewide ranking of 490 out of 640 high schools, and its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, South Granville High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with substantial achievement gaps observed for Hispanic, White, and economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Granville Early College High and North Wake College and Career Academy, South Granville High is falling behind. These schools consistently outperform South Granville High on academic measures, highlighting the need for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes. The growing population of economically disadvantaged students at South Granville High, as indicated by the increase in free and reduced-price lunch recipients, may also be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
