Spring Hill Middle

Summary:

Spring Hill Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Laurinburg, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 643. The school is part of the Scotland County Schools district, which is ranked 203 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Hill Middle faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as Carver Middle and Hamlet Middle, Spring Hill Middle's proficiency rates in these subjects are significantly lower. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 99% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to these challenges.

However, the data also reveals a notable exception: Spring Hill Middle's Native American students consistently rank among the top in the state on standardized tests, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support and resources for this student subgroup. In contrast, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is relatively low, ranking in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools in this category. To improve overall academic outcomes, Spring Hill Middle may need to explore strategies to address the needs of its diverse student population, such as targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and increased resources and support for students from low-income backgrounds.

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.
