Summary

Westover High is a public high school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving 1,244 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Cumberland County Schools district, which is ranked 144 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westover High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 395 and 531 out of around 500-600 high schools. It has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating it is a lower-performing school compared to the state average. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the Cumberland County and North Carolina state averages across all subject areas, and its 4-year graduation rate of 85-88% is slightly below the state average. Westover High also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with its rankings for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students being significantly lower than its overall school ranking.

Interestingly, Westover High's performance is significantly lower than several nearby high-performing schools, such as Massey Hill Classical High, Cross Creek Early College, and Cumberland International Early College, which have much higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings. Additionally, Westover High's relatively low spending per student compared to the state average may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
