Summary

Red Springs High is a traditional public high school in Red Springs, NC, serving about 867 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Public Schools of Robeson County. After bottoming out near the bottom of North Carolina’s high school rankings between 2020 and 2022, the school has made a strong comeback: it now ranks 399th of 662 high schools statewide (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. That is a significant jump from the 20th percentile one year earlier, though it remains below the school’s own 2016–2017 peak near the 59th percentile.

The most dramatic gains came in STEM subjects. Biology proficiency jumped from 23.6% to 61.7%, putting it above the state average and ahead of nearby Lumberton Senior High (42.3%), Saint Pauls High (49.2%), and Purnell Swett High (40.6%). Math I proficiency more than doubled to 52.9%, while Math III reached 70.3%. These results stand out because roughly 98.7% of Red Springs students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Subgroup rankings also improved sharply: English Learner students rank in the top 7% of high schools statewide, and Hispanic, African American, Native American, Special Education, and low-income students all rank at or above the 50th percentile in their statewide comparisons.

Still, two concerns stand out. English II proficiency sits at just 40.7%, nearly 24 points below the state average and below every other traditional high school in the area. Chronic absenteeism is also a serious issue at 51.0%, more than double the state rate, and the graduation rate of 83.7% trails the district average of 89.2%. Red Springs currently ranks higher overall than Lumberton Senior High, Saint Pauls High, and Purnell Swett High, making it one of the district’s stronger traditional high schools in math and science. Sustaining this momentum will likely depend on improving attendance and literacy outcomes.
