Summary:

The city of Rocky Point, North Carolina is home to a single high school, Heide Trask High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a sizable student body of 734 students, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 420th out of 640 high schools in 2023-2024 to 530th out of 641 in 2024-2025.

Heide Trask High's test scores lag behind both the Pender County Schools district and the state of North Carolina across various End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with proficiency rates as low as 21.2% in Math I. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.7% is slightly below the state average. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the high poverty levels among the student population, with 99.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's struggles, it does have some positive factors, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.3, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, addressing the school's broader academic and socioeconomic challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning outcomes.
