Summary

East Iredell Middle is a public middle school located in Statesville, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 332 students. The school is part of the Iredell-Statesville Schools district, which is ranked 102 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at East Iredell Middle, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading were around 20-30%, compared to the district's 50-60% and the state's 50-60% proficiency rates. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, often in the bottom 25% of middle schools in the state.

When compared to other middle schools in the Iredell-Statesville district, such as Lakeshore Middle, West Iredell Middle, and Oakwood Middle IB School, East Iredell Middle lags significantly in academic performance, student subgroup achievement, and overall school quality indicators. The school's challenges appear to be multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive approach to address the equity, resource allocation, and student support issues that are hindering its ability to provide a high-quality education for all students.
