Summary

South Granville High is a public high school located in Creedmoor, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 720 students. The school is part of the Granville County Schools district, which is ranked 181 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Granville High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a ranking between 450-558 out of 621-641 schools in recent years. It has also maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's test scores are consistently below the state and district averages across all End-of-Course (EOC) exams, and its four-year graduation rates, while improving, still lag behind the state average. Compared to nearby schools like Granville Central High and Granville Early College High, South Granville High's performance is significantly lower.

Interestingly, the performance gap between different student subgroups at South Granville High is noteworthy. While African American and Special Education students perform relatively better, the school struggles to support the academic success of Hispanic, White, and Gifted and Talented students. Additionally, South Granville High's per-student spending of $8,664 in 2018-2019 is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's challenges in improving student outcomes. Overall, South Granville High faces significant challenges in improving student achievement across various metrics, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the underlying issues.
