Summary

CITI High School is a very small public high school in Rocky Mount, NC, serving just 87 students in grades 9–12, almost all of whom (roughly 97%) qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. It is part of Nash County Public Schools — a district ranked only 158th of 246 in North Carolina — yet CITI stands out there. In 2025–2026, CITI earned 3 stars and ranked 207th of 662 high schools statewide (69th percentile), making it the second highest ranked school in the local Nash County cluster. Only its next-door neighbor, Nash Early College High School, which lands in the 96th percentile, ranks higher. CITI also clearly outranks Nash Central High, Southern Nash High, Northern Nash High, and Rocky Mount High.

CITI's defining academic strength is math and science. In the most recent testing year, 100% of students scored proficient on Math III, versus 66.1% across the district; Math I proficiency was 86.7% compared with a district rate of 42.5%; and Biology proficiency reached 84.2% versus 49.2% districtwide. These numbers tower over nearby schools — Rocky Mount High's Math I proficiency, for example, is just 16.4%. English II is the major counterweight: only 40.9% of CITI students were proficient, below the district's 57.8% and the state's 64.6%. Since CITI's English II scores were strong the two previous years, this may reflect one uneven small cohort rather than a lasting trend.

Attendance and graduation are quiet strengths. Only 8.0% of CITI students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, far below the district rate of 25.9% and the state rate of 24.2%; the chronic absenteeism rate at Rocky Mount High was 39.0%. CITI's graduation rate reached 93.2%, above the district's 85.8% and the state's 87.7%. The school also posted strong statewide subgroup results for low-income and male students in earlier years — a meaningful achievement given the school's high poverty rate. CITI spends more per student ($14,539) than nearby comprehensive high schools, which spend roughly $9,200–$9,500, and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of about 16, pointing to smaller classes and personalized attention. Its small size, however, means its ranking can swing noticeably from year to year.
