Summary:
Teachey, North Carolina is served by a single public high school, Wallace-Rose Hill High, which enrolls about 738 students in grades 9–12 and belongs to Duplin County Schools; no elementary, middle, or alternative schools are located within the city. Because there is only one school, comparisons are made to the district and state rather than to other Teachey schools.
Wallace-Rose Hill High ranks in the bottom 10% of North Carolina high schools, coming in 595th out of 662 schools for 2025–2026 with a 1-star rating. Its district, Duplin County Schools, ranks 201st out of 246 districts. The school’s academic performance is far below state averages: biology proficiency is 25% versus 58.5% statewide, English II is 37% versus 64.6%, Math I is 16.2% versus 42.1%, and Math III is 51.2% versus 68.9%. The graduation rate of 84.9% is slightly above the district’s 84.0% but below the state’s 88.8%. Chronic absenteeism is 19.9%, which is better than the North Carolina average of 24.2%, despite the school serving a very high-need population—99.59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
There are some encouraging signs. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, proficiency improved meaningfully in biology (+9.2 points), English II (+6.6 points), and Math III (+7.8 points), though Math I stayed essentially flat. Nonetheless, statewide rank declined from 524th in 2023–24 to 595th in 2025–26, suggesting that other schools improved at a faster pace or state conditions changed. Math III stands out as relatively stronger than Math I, likely because students reaching Math III are a more select group. Overall, Wallace-Rose Hill High is a high-poverty school with real academic challenges, but attendance is comparatively strong and recent test-score gains point to areas of progress for parents to watch.
