Beaufort County Schools


Summary:

The Beaufort County Schools district in North Carolina comprises 13 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with some schools having a majority white student body and others having a majority African American or Hispanic student population. Overall, the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, with a few standout high-performing schools like Chocowinity Primary and Bath Elementary contrasting with lower-performing schools like John Small Elementary and S.W. Snowden Elementary.

The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with the highest rates of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have the lowest test scores. This disparity is further highlighted by the exceptional performance of Beaufort County Early College High, which ranks in the top 5% of high schools in the state. The early college model appears to be an effective approach for improving outcomes in the district.

Challenges in the district may include staffing and resource allocation, as indicated by the high student-teacher ratios and relatively low per-student spending at some schools. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students will be crucial for the Beaufort County Schools district to continue improving and providing a strong educational foundation for its diverse student population.
