Middle Schools in Caswell County Schools

Summary:

Caswell County Schools has only one middle school, N L Dillard Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 437 students. The school's academic performance has been consistently below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates significantly lagging behind the rest of North Carolina.

N L Dillard Middle has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past three years, dropping from 586th out of 784 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 721st out of 793 in 2023-2024 and 683rd out of 773 in 2024-2025. This trend is concerning, as the school appears to be falling behind its peers in the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 99.31% in 2023-2024, indicating that it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $10,442 in 2018-2019 and a low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes at N L Dillard Middle have not improved. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning and achievement. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance should be a priority for the Caswell County Schools district.
