Summary

Cs Brown High - STEM Program is a small public high school in Winton, NC, serving roughly 100 students in grades 9-12 within Hertford County Schools. Though about 97% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school is one of the stronger in the region, ranking in the 62nd percentile statewide with a 3-star SchoolDigger rating in the latest assessment year.

The contrast with nearby traditional high schools is dramatic. While Hertford County High posted Biology proficiency of just 26.9%, English II of 35.5%, and Math I of 32.7%, Cs Brown High - STEM Program achieved 71% in Biology, 62.5% in English II, and 47.8% in Math I. Its Math III proficiency rate of 81.8% also far exceeds the state average of 68.9%. The school's effectiveness with African American students ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, and its support for low-income students ranks in the 69th percentile. One area to watch: female students receive less favorable outcomes than male students, though with only 100 students, a single cohort can shift results noticeably.

The school's biggest success story is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 62.6% in 2022-2023 to just 16.8% in 2024-2025 — much better than the district's 38.2% and the state's 24.2%. That turnaround, achieved while the school rebounded from a post-pandemic slump, helps explain recent academic gains. Cs Brown High - STEM Program also spends far more per pupil ($21,553) than Gates County Senior High ($13,228) or Hertford County High ($12,418), likely reflecting the fixed costs of a very small school. Families should expect natural year-to-year fluctuation, but the overall picture is of a high-performing STEM option in a district where most surrounding comprehensive schools struggle.
