Summary

Currituck County High is a public high school located in Barco, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,041 students. The school is part of the Currituck County Schools district, which is ranked 40 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Currituck County High's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the years. The school's test scores in End-of-Course (EOC) exams have been mixed, with better performance in Math III but lower proficiency in Math I compared to the district and state. The school's graduation rates, ranging from 86.9% to 93.5%, are generally on par with or slightly higher than the state average. However, the school has seen varying performance among different student subgroups, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.

In comparison, the nearby JP Knapp ECH (i)School, which is also part of the Currituck County Schools district, has consistently outperformed Currituck County High in terms of statewide ranking and test scores. Additionally, Currituck County High has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 18% in 2021-2022 to 32.95% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby JP Knapp ECH (i)School. These findings suggest that the district may be able to learn from the practices and strategies employed at the JP Knapp ECH (i)School to improve the performance of Currituck County High and address the needs of its diverse student population.
