Summary:

The Duplin County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12. The data reveals a mix of performance across these schools, with Duplin Early College High and North Duplin Junior Senior High standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.

Duplin Early College High is the highest-ranked school in the district, scoring 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming the district and state averages on end-of-course (EOC) tests. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio and spends the least per student compared to the other schools. In contrast, North Duplin Junior Senior High may be a relative bright spot, outperforming its peers on both 7th/8th grade end-of-grade (EOG) tests and EOC assessments, particularly in mathematics and science.

Despite these standout schools, the data reveals significant performance gaps across the district, with Duplin County Schools consistently underperforming the state averages on EOC tests. Additionally, all schools in the district have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. The data suggests opportunities for the district to identify and learn from the practices of its higher-performing schools and implement targeted interventions to address these academic achievement gaps.
