As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I graduated from Pamlico County High with honors in 2010. I never wrote a single paper in my four years of attendance besides my tenth grade writing EOC essay and the essay a attempted in AP English 4. The only homework that I was ever held accountable for was in Lois Moye's calc and pre-calc classes and Rob Wolbert's US history class. Those two are the only teachers there that actually cater to students that don't want to live on welfare for the rest of their lives. After graduating, I attended Western Carolina Univeresity, where I failed ENG 101 twice. Actually, I failed everything except math because it was the only class that didn't require a research paper. I was literally told that I write on an eighth grade level. Currently, I am at a community college trying to catch up so I can finish my degree. Again, I would like to reiterate, I graduated WITH HONORS! I wasn't just some slacker who wants to lay blame for their own problems, I had a 3.7GPA when I graduated. Please, if you care at all about your child's future at all, DO NOT send them through Pamlico County Schools!!! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
