Summary

CITI High School is a small public high school in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 96 students. Despite its small size, this school has consistently outperformed the surrounding Nash County Public Schools district and the state of North Carolina in key academic metrics.

CITI High School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with students achieving significantly higher proficiency rates on end-of-course (EOC) exams compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, CITI High had an 80% proficiency rate in Biology EOC, far exceeding the district's 39.7% and the state's 48.3%. Similarly, in Math III EOC, CITI High had a 95% proficiency rate, well above the district's 64.2% and the state's 66.4%. The school has also maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83.1% to 93.2% over the past few years, consistently outperforming the district and state averages.

Interestingly, CITI High School's exceptional performance stands in stark contrast to the nearby Tar River Academy, a small public high school located just 0.05 miles away. Tar River Academy has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with very low EOC proficiency rates and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This remarkable difference in academic achievement between the two neighboring schools is quite noteworthy and worthy of further investigation to understand the factors contributing to CITI High School's success.
