Summary:
The Sampson County Schools district in North Carolina is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12. The data reveals that Sampson Early College High stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 5% of high schools in the state with exceptional test scores and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the other 4 high schools - Midway High, Hobbton High, Union High, and Lakewood High - have more mixed performance, with some subject areas above and others below the district and state averages, Sampson Early College High stands out with significantly higher test scores across all subject areas. The school also maintains a high 4-year graduation rate on par with the other high schools in the district.
Interestingly, all 5 high schools in the Sampson County Schools district serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 98.7% to 99.39%. This context is important when analyzing the schools' performance. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $7,255 at Sampson Early College High to $10,781 at Union High, may contribute to the differences in academic outcomes across the district. Continued monitoring of key metrics and sharing of best practices could help drive progress for all high schools in the Sampson County Schools system.
