Summary

Ramsey Street High is a small public high school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with just 24 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. Compared to other schools in the Cumberland County Schools district, Ramsey Street High significantly underperforms, with much lower test scores across all subject areas and student subgroups.

Ramsey Street High's test scores are alarmingly low, with only 13% of students proficient or better in Biology end-of-course exams, compared to 49.9% for the district and 48.3% for the state. The school also struggles across all student groups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of North Carolina high schools for female, male, African American, and low-income students. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, at $25,524 per student, the school has not been able to translate this higher funding into improved academic outcomes.

While Ramsey Street High has a very low student-teacher ratio, suggesting individualized attention, this has not led to better results. In contrast, other high schools in the Cumberland County Schools district, such as Cumberland Polytechnic and Massey Hill Classical High, are among the top-performing schools in the state. The persistent low performance and equity concerns at Ramsey Street High indicate the need for a comprehensive intervention and support strategy to improve outcomes for its students.
