The Public Schools of Robeson County district consists of 36 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students in grades K-12. The district as a whole is ranked 218 out of 243 districts in North Carolina and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

One standout school in the district is PSRC Early College at RCC, a high school that ranks 26th out of 626 high schools in North Carolina and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Another high-performing school is Tanglewood Elementary, which ranked in the top 380 elementary schools in the state in previous years and had strong test scores. However, the majority of schools in the district struggle with very low test scores, high poverty rates, and poor rankings compared to other schools in the state.

The data reveals stark disparities in performance and resources across the schools in the district. The high concentration of Native American students at certain schools, such as Prospect Elementary, which has 91.04% Native American students, is noteworthy and may point to issues of equity and access for this population. Overall, the Public Schools of Robeson County face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and targeted interventions and resource allocation may be needed to raise achievement levels and provide more equitable opportunities across the district.
