Summary:
Whiteville City Schools has only one middle school, Central Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 461 students. The school's performance is mixed, with some grades and subjects exceeding district averages but falling short of state averages, while others underperform both the district and state.
Whiteville City Schools' sole middle school, Central Middle, is ranked 457 out of 773 North Carolina middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's math proficiency rates vary, with 7th grade exceeding both district and state averages, while 6th and 8th grade math proficiency fall below. Reading and science proficiency rates are also below state averages in most grades.
Central Middle School faces significant challenges, with 98.26% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending of $10,356 for the 2018-2019 school year raises questions about whether it is receiving adequate resources to support its student population and address the academic performance gaps. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 suggests a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
