Summary

Saint Pauls High is a public high school located in Saint Pauls, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,164 students. The school is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 215 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Saint Pauls High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a ranking between 434-511 out of 594-641 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.3% to 62.8% across different subjects and years. However, the school has some bright spots, as Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better than the school's overall average, and Gifted and Talented students at Saint Pauls High perform well, with a ranking in the top 30% of North Carolina high schools.

When compared to other high schools in the surrounding area, Saint Pauls High generally performs worse than its peers, particularly in terms of academic achievement and graduation rates. The nearby PSRC Early College at RCC stands out as an exceptional school, consistently ranking in the top 5% of North Carolina high schools and outperforming Saint Pauls High across all academic measures. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Saint Pauls High may present unique challenges and contribute to the school's overall academic struggles, and the school's location within a district that is ranked near the bottom of the state could also be a factor in its performance.

Every excuse in the book to make sure your child has the most difficult time in high school. The teachers are verbally abusive and the staff lacks ethics or moral code. Close Quote
