Summary:

The Public Schools of Robeson County district in North Carolina consists of 36 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 6 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 215 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district faces significant challenges, a few schools stand out. PSRC Early College at RCC is a high-performing high school ranked 32nd out of 641 in the state, with exceptional test scores. In contrast, Tanglewood Elementary has seen its performance decline over time, and Union Elementary has the highest test scores in the district, with 60-73% of students proficient in math and 42-58% proficient in reading.

The district struggles with low test scores compared to state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.6% in Biology to 67.2% in Math III. The high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, often over 99%, suggest that addressing poverty and its impacts should be a key priority. While the four-year graduation rate is on par with the state average, the middle and high schools generally perform worse than the elementary schools, indicating challenges at the secondary level.
