Summary

E B Aycock Middle is a public middle school in Greenville, NC, serving 617 students in grades 6–8 within Pitt County Schools. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 28th percentile of North Carolina middle schools, well below the district's overall 3-star rating. Like most middle schools in Pitt County, Aycock serves a high-poverty community — 99.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Its statewide ranking has remained in the lower third for the past decade, ranging from roughly the 16th to the 34th percentile.

The school's most glaring challenge is chronic absenteeism. In 2024–2025, 42.3% of Aycock students were chronically absent, compared with 21.7% across the district and 24.2% statewide — a gap that has persisted for five consecutive years. Academic proficiency trails district and state averages in nearly every subject, with the widest gap in 7th-grade math, where just 39.8% of students are proficient versus 56.2% statewide. That said, outcomes vary sharply by student group: gifted students rank in the 94th percentile statewide, and special education students improved dramatically, moving from the 21st to the 73rd percentile in one year.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Hope Middle, just 6.5 miles away, serves an almost identical student population — 99.7% low-income — yet ranks in the 94th percentile with 5 stars and has only a 16.5% chronic absenteeism rate. In 6th-grade math, Hope's proficiency rate is 88.3% versus Aycock's 46.9%. Aycock does have bright spots: 8th-grade science proficiency reached 64.6%, far outpacing nearby C M Eppes Middle's 50.2%, and Aycock also posted stronger 8th-grade reading. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, the school already has resources in place. The clearest path forward lies in reducing chronic absenteeism and scaling the successful practices behind its standout subjects and student groups.

This school is very disorganized. I transfered my daughter here and they lost her paper work and called me back the night before the first day of school. Never arranged bus transportation for her. They need to get their act together and find a better way to set up class schedules and bus schedules for the first day of school because apparently what they are doing now is not working. No one showed any concerne that they lost her paper work or that the bus did not pick her up. Never received a phone call from the principal. I hope that the school system in greenville is better than what they have showed me so far. Just moved here from NJ and the school system has yeat to impress me. Very disapointed with the treatment that i have received so far. These are the people that are supposed to be educating our children. It just makes me question?????????? Close Quote
