High Schools in Mount Airy City Schools

Summary:

The Mount Airy City Schools district in North Carolina is home to a single high school, Mount Airy High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 193rd out of 626 North Carolina high schools in 2022-2023 to 298th out of 641 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Mount Airy High has seen mixed results, outperforming the state average on some End-of-Course (EOC) exams like Biology, Math III, and Math I, but underperforming in others like English II and Math I. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year was 87.7%. Additionally, Mount Airy High serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 99.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the challenges, Mount Airy High appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively high spending of $10,888 per student and a manageable student-teacher ratio of 16.9 to 1. These factors may help the school address its academic performance issues and support its students' needs. Overall, while Mount Airy High faces some obstacles, the district's commitment to providing resources and support to its students could be a positive factor in the school's future success.
