Summary

Davie County High is a public high school located in Mocksville, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,808 students. The school is part of the Davie County Schools district, which is ranked 67 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davie County High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.9% to 91.6% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or slightly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed, with higher proficiency rates in English II and Math III but lower rates in Biology and Math I compared to state and district averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong rankings for Multi-racial and Gifted and Talented students but lower rankings and proficiency rates for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, the smaller Davie County Early College High within the same district consistently outperforms Davie County High in test scores and rankings, suggesting that a more specialized environment may be more effective for some students. Additionally, other nearby schools, such as North Davidson High and West Forsyth High, have similar or slightly higher performance metrics compared to Davie County High, indicating that the school is not a standout performer in the region. The school's declining statewide ranking and growing population of economically disadvantaged students suggest that addressing these challenges and disparities should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
