Southeast Halifax Collegiate Prep Academy

Summary:

Southeast Halifax Collegiate Prep Academy is a public high school in Halifax, North Carolina, serving 196 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Halifax County Schools district, which is ranked 224 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (90.82%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 27.2% to 96.67% African American. Academically, Southeast Halifax Collegiate Prep consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina high schools, with test scores well below state and district averages. The school also serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with 98.47% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than nearby schools.

When compared to other schools in the region, Southeast Halifax Collegiate Prep's performance is concerning. Nearby schools like Halifax County Early College High and Roanoke Rapids Early College High have significantly higher academic performance and SchoolDigger ratings, even though they serve similar student populations in terms of race and socioeconomic status. This suggests that factors beyond the school's demographics may be contributing to its persistent low performance.

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.
