Summary:
The Public Schools of Robeson County district in North Carolina contains 8 middle schools serving grades 4-8, with student populations ranging from 268 to 703. While the district as a whole is ranked 215 out of 242 districts in the state and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the data.
Littlefield Middle School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 590 out of 773 North Carolina middle schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in most subject areas, particularly in 4th and 5th grade math and reading. Pembroke Middle School and South Robeson Middle School also show relatively stronger performance compared to their peers in the district.
However, the schools in the Public Schools of Robeson County district generally perform well below the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, with only a few exceptions. This suggests systemic challenges within the district that need to be addressed, despite the high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios. The extremely high free and reduced lunch rates across all schools also point to significant economic disadvantage among the student populations, which likely plays a major role in the academic challenges faced by these schools.
