Summary

Wheatmore High School is a comprehensive public high school in Trinity, NC, serving 667 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Randolph County School System. The school ranks #246 out of 662 North Carolina high schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars), well above the district's overall 35th-percentile ranking. Among nearby traditional high schools, Wheatmore is the top performer, outranking Trinity High School, East Davidson High, High Point Central High, Uwharrie Ridge Six-Twelve, and Thomasville High. Only specialized options such as Davidson Early College and Middle College at GTCC-High Point rank higher locally.

Wheatmore exceeded both district and state proficiency rates in all four End-of-Course subjects — Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III. Its clearest strength is Math III, where 82.8% of students scored proficient, roughly 23 points above the district and 14 points above the state. Biology scores jumped from 44.5% to 68.7% in two years, while the state improved only modestly. The soft spot is Math I, at 48.4% proficiency, where Trinity High School does better at 67.4%. Graduation rates are also strong at 92.7%, versus 90.8% for the district and 87.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism has dropped to 17.5% — well below the state's 24.2% and far better than Trinity High School (28.9%) or High Point Central High (40.0%).

About 48% of Wheatmore's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and this group performs well relative to similar students statewide, ranking in the 66th to 71st percentile in recent years. The school achieves these results while spending roughly $8,813 per student, less than most neighboring schools. The main challenge is ensuring equity across all student groups: students receiving special education services have seen their statewide subgroup ranking decline from the 50th to the 25th percentile over three years, and Hispanic students have also slipped recently. These patterns point to areas where additional support may be needed, not to limits on what these students can achieve.
