Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Ashley Chapel Educational Center is a small public high school in Rockingham, North Carolina, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of just 92. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a predominantly African American student body and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Despite spending significantly more per student than nearby schools like Richmond Senior High and Richmond Early College High, Ashley Chapel Educational Center has struggled to improve its academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.8% of students were proficient or better in English II, compared to 59.7% statewide and 42.2% in the Richmond County School District. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American students and those from low-income backgrounds, ranking among the lowest in the state for these subgroups.

The stark contrast in performance between Ashley Chapel Educational Center and the nearby Richmond Early College High, a top-performing school, highlights the significant challenges faced by this small, high-poverty school. Despite its low student-teacher ratio, which could potentially be leveraged to provide more individualized support, Ashley Chapel Educational Center has not shown significant improvement in its statewide rankings or test scores over the past decade, suggesting a need for a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
