Summary:
The Edenton-Chowan Schools district in North Carolina operates four schools: two elementary schools (White Oak Elementary and D.F. Walker Elementary), one middle school (Chowan Middle), and one high school (John A. Holmes High). The district as a whole is ranked 180 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education across its schools.
Among the standout schools, John A. Holmes High School has the largest enrollment with 589 students and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%. However, its statewide ranking has fluctuated, and its test scores are generally below the state averages, except for English II. In contrast, D.F. Walker Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking among the schools, but its 3rd-grade and 4th-grade math proficiency rates are relatively strong compared to the state averages.
A key insight across the district is the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 99.21% to 99.49%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This, coupled with the consistently below-average test scores in math and reading, suggests that the Edenton-Chowan Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and address the challenges faced by its economically disadvantaged student population.
