Summary

Red Springs Middle in Red Springs, NC, serves 572 students in grades 5–8 and is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district. On the most recent statewide ranking, Red Springs Middle ranks 731st of 778 North Carolina middle schools, placing it in the 6th percentile with a 0-star rating. The school has been near the bottom of state rankings for years, falling from around the 20th percentile in the mid-2010s to the 3rd–6th percentile range since 2020.

Academic proficiency at Red Springs Middle is far below both district and state averages. Only 16.4% of 7th graders were proficient in math and 19.9% in reading, compared with statewide averages of roughly 56% in each subject — a gap of close to 40 points. Even the school's strongest tested subject, 5th grade math, had a 36.8% proficiency rate versus 62.9% statewide. Performance varies significantly by grade and cohort: 6th grade math jumped from 7.6% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 45.8% in 2025–2026, while 7th grade math declined from 23.0% to 16.4% over a similar period. The school's low-income students rank at the 6th percentile even when compared only to other high-poverty schools, and its gifted students rank at just the 7th percentile.

Nearly every student at Red Springs Middle (99.48%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 43.9%, roughly double the statewide rate of 24.2%. Nearby schools serving similarly high-poverty populations show that better outcomes are possible: New Century International Middle has a 97% poverty rate but only 17.6% chronic absenteeism and ranks in the 63rd percentile, while Hope Mills Middle ranks in the 53rd percentile with 29.7% chronic absenteeism. Even Saint Pauls Middle, the closest district peer, has a lower chronic absence rate of 31.8%. These comparisons suggest that improving attendance and creating more consistent academic support across grade levels could be high-impact priorities for Red Springs Middle.
