High Schools in Alamance-Burlington Schools

Summary:

The Alamance-Burlington Schools district in North Carolina is home to 9 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 193 out of 242 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The standout school in the district is ABSS Early College at ACC, which consistently ranks among the top 4 high schools in North Carolina and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school boasts significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages, with over 90% proficiency in several key subjects. In contrast, the lowest-performing schools appear to be Hugh M Cummings High and Graham High, which rank in the bottom 10% of high schools in the state and have very low proficiency rates on End-of-Course exams.

The data reveals a wide range of student demographics and academic performance across the district. While the overall 4-year graduation rate is on par with the state average, there are significant disparities in test scores, with some schools excelling and others struggling. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for socioeconomic status, varies greatly, from 31.17% at ABSS Early College at ACC to over 99% at Hugh M Cummings High and Graham High. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students and improve academic outcomes across the district.
