Summary:

The Transylvania County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 103 out of 242 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Rosman Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics. Brevard High and Rosman High also have strong test scores, with high proficiency rates in EOC Math III. However, there are stark disparities in test scores across the district, with some schools like Davidson River School struggling to meet proficiency standards.

The district as a whole faces challenges, with most schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Spending per student also varies significantly across the schools, from $9,707 at Pisgah Forest Elementary to $16,825 at Davidson River School, which may contribute to the observed achievement gaps. Ensuring equitable funding and resources across all schools in the Transylvania County Schools district could be an area for improvement.
