Summary:

The Duplin County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 5 high schools, and no middle or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 196 out of 242 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools in the district stand out as performing better than the district and state averages. North Duplin Elementary ranks 745 out of 1,490 elementary schools in North Carolina and has strong test scores, with 74.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math and 54.7% proficient or better in reading. North Duplin Junior Senior High ranks 315 out of 641 high schools in the state and has impressive test scores, with high proficiency rates on end-of-course exams. Duplin Early College High ranks 180 out of 641 high schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, the highest rating in the district, with very strong test scores.

However, the majority of schools in the district struggle academically, with most students performing well below state averages on standardized tests, indicating significant achievement gaps. The district also faces challenges of high poverty levels, with all schools having extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, and potential funding inequities, as per-student spending ranges widely from $7,848 to $14,420. Despite these obstacles, the bright spots in the district demonstrate that with the right interventions and support, schools in Duplin County can help students achieve at high levels.
