Summary

G. C. Hawley Middle is a public middle school located in Creedmoor, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 466 students. The school is part of the Granville County Schools district, which is ranked 181 out of 242 districts in the state.

G. C. Hawley Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools, with a ranking between 350-560 out of 700-800 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state standardized tests (EOG) is also below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with particularly low rankings for its female, Hispanic, and white student subgroups. However, the school performs better, though still below average, for its African American and English Language Learner student subgroups.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as Butner-Stem Middle, Magellan Charter, and Wakefield Middle, G. C. Hawley Middle generally performs worse academically. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past 10 years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 196 out of 694 schools in 2016-2017 to 506 out of 773 schools in 2024-2025. The school's relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratio suggest it may not have the resources or staffing necessary to provide a high-quality education for its students.
