Additionally, Butner-Stem Elementary and Wilton Elementary perform well above the district and state averages in math and reading proficiency. Meanwhile, Tar River Elementary has made significant improvements, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating in recent years.
However, the data also reveals stark performance disparities across the district, with some schools struggling to reach 30% proficiency in key subjects, while others, like Granville Early College High, have nearly perfect proficiency rates. The district's per-student spending ranges from $7,932 to $12,237, with the alternative schools spending the most per student. Additionally, the two alternative schools, Granville Academy and Phoenix Academy, have significantly lower test scores and higher free/reduced lunch rates compared to the other schools, highlighting the unique challenges faced by these types of institutions.
