West Pine Middle

Summary:

West Pine Middle is a public middle school located in West End, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 688 students. The school is part of the Moore County Schools district, which is ranked 62 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Pine Middle consistently outperforms the Moore County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, West Pine Middle had 72.9% of 6th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 67.4% for the district and 54.3% for the state. While the student population at West Pine Middle is predominantly White (71.8% in 2022-2023), the school has a more diverse student body compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Elise Middle and Southern Middle. Additionally, West Pine Middle has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with only 27.91% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly lower than the nearby Elise Middle (81.31%) and East Middle (85.14%) schools.

West Pine Middle has maintained a high level of academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 20% of North Carolina middle schools over the past decade. However, the school's rankings for African American students (211 out of 560 NC middle schools) were significantly lower than its rankings for Hispanic (51 out of 564) and White (104 out of 652) students in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students. Additionally, West Pine Middle has a strong presence of military-connected students, ranking 2nd out of 54 NC middle schools in this category for the 2022-2023 school year, which may be due to the school's proximity to military installations or the district's efforts to support this 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.
