Public Grades 6-12

Summary

SCALE School is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Greensboro, North Carolina, part of the Guilford County Schools district.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($57,738) than nearby schools, which range from $8,019 to $17,000 per student, SCALE School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of North Carolina high schools and has a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the Guilford County and North Carolina averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade math, only 7.1% of SCALE School students were proficient or better, compared to 35.5% for Guilford County and 44.8% for the state. SCALE School also has an extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 81.25%, much higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 20% to 60%.

Interestingly, SCALE School has a student population that is 75% African American, significantly higher than the 22% to 50% range at nearby schools like Grimsley High, UNCG Early/Middle College, and Philip J Weaver Educational Center. Despite the school's extremely low student-teacher ratio of 1.5, which suggests individualized attention, SCALE School's consistently poor academic performance raises questions about the efficient and effective use of resources to support its predominantly African American student population.
