Summary:
The city of Mount Olive, North Carolina is home to a single high school, North Duplin Junior Senior High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%, it is ranked 315 out of 641 high schools in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is not a standout performer in the region.
North Duplin Junior Senior High's test scores, particularly in mathematics and English, are generally below the state and district averages. The school has a very high percentage of students (99.52%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 15:1 for high schools, which may impact the quality of instruction and student support.
Despite these challenges, the school does have some positive metrics, such as a higher-than-average 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 62.4%. However, the school's overall performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 376 out of 626 high schools in 2022-2023 to 315 out of 641 high schools in 2024-2025. The Duplin County Schools district and the local community may need to address these issues through targeted interventions and support to improve the academic outcomes for students at North Duplin Junior Senior High.
