While East Henderson High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students, its academic performance as measured by end-of-course test scores is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's Gifted and Talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking 5th out of 403 North Carolina high schools, but the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Disabled student subgroups perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state. Additionally, East Henderson High has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.83%, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.1.

Compared to nearby high schools like Reynolds High, Davidson River School, and Polk County High School, East Henderson High generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores and statewide rankings. However, the school's more diverse student population and higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients may contribute to these performance differences. The school's proximity to the Henderson County Career Academy may also present opportunities for collaboration and shared resources.

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.
