Summary

Davie County Early College High is a very small public high school in Mocksville, NC, serving roughly 131 students in grades 9–12 through Davie County Schools. Although more than half of its students (55.7%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Davie County Early College High is one of the strongest schools in the region, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 107th out of 662 North Carolina high schools for 2025–2026 — the 84th percentile statewide.

Its academic results are dramatically better than those of nearby traditional high schools. On 2025–2026 End-of-Course tests, 90% of Early College students were proficient in English II, compared with 59.6% for the district and 64.6% statewide. Math results are even more striking: 72.4% passed Math I, versus 38.7% for the district, 42.1% statewide, and just 37% at Davie County High; likewise, 90.6% passed Math III, compared with 65% at Davie County High. Students from low-income backgrounds at the Early College also rank in the 84th percentile statewide, showing these strong results are not limited to one segment of the student body.

The school also posts a graduation rate of 93.5%, above the district's 91.2% and the state's 87.7%, while its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2% is better than the state's 24.2% and far below Davie County High's 26.3%. It achieves these outcomes on a comparatively lean budget of about $5,779 per student, versus $8,319 at Davie County High. Its closest regional peer, Rowan County Early College, performs at a similar level, suggesting the early-college model itself is a strong factor in student success. One caveat for parents: because the school is so small, yearly test scores can fluctuate; however, Davie County Early College High has ranked in the top 12–28% of the state for five straight years, making it a dependable choice for families seeking a rigorous college-prep path.
