Summary:
Paul R. Brown Leadership Academy is the sole high school located in Elizabethtown, North Carolina, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 213 students. The school is a public charter institution ranked 168 out of 242 in the state and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
While the school maintains a respectable 87.7% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance on state assessments is inconsistent. In mathematics, 6th-grade students scored below the state average, while 7th and 8th-grade students performed above. In reading, all grade levels fell short of the state benchmarks, and the 8th-grade science proficiency rate was significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's End-of-Course exam results in Math I and Math III were more promising, with students outperforming the state in Math I.
Notably, Paul R. Brown Leadership Academy serves a student population with a high poverty rate, with 93.9% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, which have led to a declining statewide ranking over the past three years. To address these issues, the school will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies that consider the unique needs of its student body.
