Summary:
The city of Chocowinity, North Carolina, is home to three schools: Chocowinity Primary, Southside High, and Chocowinity Middle. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and are part of the Beaufort County Schools district.
Chocowinity Primary stands out as an exceptional elementary school, consistently ranking among the top 30 in North Carolina and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with over 90% of 3rd and 4th-grade students proficient or better. In contrast, Southside High has struggled with test scores, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in subjects like Biology, English II, and Math I.
Despite the exceptional performance of Chocowinity Primary, all three schools in Chocowinity have very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 99.22% to 99.36%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. This is reflected in the differences in per-student spending, with Southside High receiving the highest funding at $12,556 per student in 2018-2019, while Chocowinity Middle had the lowest at $9,367 per student.
