Summary:
The city of Oakboro, North Carolina is home to two schools - West Stanly High and Oakboro Choice STEM. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and K-8, respectively, and are part of the Stanly County Schools district.
Of the two schools, Oakboro Choice STEM stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 204 out of 1,490 elementary schools in North Carolina and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts consistently high test scores, with the majority of grades scoring well above the district and state averages in Math, Reading, and Science. Despite serving a high-need population with 96.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Oakboro Choice STEM maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance.
In contrast, West Stanly High has more average performance, with a statewide ranking in the middle of the pack for North Carolina high schools. While the school has improved its ranking over the past few years, its test scores are generally at or slightly above the district and state averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.7% is respectable, but not exceptional compared to other high schools in the state.
