Summary

Town Creek Middle is a public middle school in Winnabow, North Carolina, serving 523 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Brunswick County Schools district, which is ranked 96 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Academically, Town Creek Middle has shown a mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's 5th and 6th-grade math and science proficiency rates are above average, the 7th and 8th-grade math and reading proficiency rates are below. Interestingly, the school's performance for African American students is particularly strong, ranking in the top 79-148 out of 546-559 middle schools in North Carolina. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and White students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 315-536 out of 553-649 middle schools.

Another key factor is the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 98.46% to 99.43% over the past three years. This is significantly higher than the state and district averages, which could be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance. When compared to nearby schools in the New Hanover County Schools district, Town Creek Middle generally has higher student-teacher ratios and lower per-student spending, which may also play a role in the school's challenges.
