Roxboro Community School

Roxboro Community School is the only school in its own standalone district, serving grades 6–12 in a combined middle and high school setting with 727 students. Roxboro Community School earns a 5-star district rating and ranks as the 21st district out of 246 in North Carolina, putting it in the 91st percentile. The Roxboro Community School district also stands out for very low chronic absenteeism at just 9.9% versus the state average of 24.2%, and a strong graduation rate of 94.1%.

Academically, the school outperforms the state average on every single test. Across 11 EOG and EOC categories, the average proficiency is about 76% for the most recent year, compared to the state's 58%. The high school End-of-Course results are especially strong: Math III proficiency is 97.2%, English II is 91.7%, and Biology is 83.0%. The one relative weak spot is Math I at 57.5% proficient, which is still above the state's 42.1% but far below the school's other high school math scores. In the middle grades, results are mixed year over year: 6th grade math and reading declined by about 10 points, while 8th grade science jumped from 65.4% to 87.7% and 8th grade reading rose from 54.8% to 70.2%. These changes likely reflect different groups of students rather than a permanent trend.

Overall, this is a high-performing school that consistently lands in the top 20% of schools statewide, with recent school-level ranks placing it in the 82nd to 89th percentile. The data gap on free/reduced-price lunch limits a full picture of student demographics, but strong attendance, high graduation rates, and excellent test results make Roxboro Community School a standout option. Parents should keep an eye on Math I proficiency and the recent drop in 6th grade reading and math scores, but every subject still remains comfortably above the state average.
