Havelock High

Summary:

Havelock High is a public high school in Havelock, North Carolina, serving 1,104 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Craven County Board of Education district, which is ranked 111 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Havelock High consistently outperforms the Craven County and North Carolina averages in end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 61.3% in English II to 61.5% in Biology. The school's African American and Hispanic students also perform better than their counterparts in the state and district. However, the school's White students lag behind, indicating a potential achievement gap that needs to be addressed. Additionally, Havelock High has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rates, from 28.21% in 2020-2021 to 49.09% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support.

Havelock High is located just 0.4 miles away from Early College EAST High, a high-performing public school that consistently ranks among the top 10% of North Carolina high schools. While Early College EAST High outperforms Havelock High across all end-of-course exams, this proximity presents an opportunity for collaboration and shared best practices. However, Havelock High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 139 out of 469 North Carolina high schools in 2017-2018 to 311 out of 640 in 2023-2024, indicating the need for a closer examination of the school's strategies and interventions.

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.
