Summary

Rockingham County Middle is a public middle school in Reidsville, North Carolina, serving 763 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Rockingham County Schools district, which is ranked 170 out of 242 districts in the state.

Rockingham County Middle has consistently ranked in the top 300 middle schools in North Carolina, with strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. The school excels in supporting Hispanic and special education students, ranking in the top 100 schools for these subgroups. However, the school struggles with the performance of White, Multi-racial, and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom half of the state for these subgroups. The school's high concentration of students from low-income families, with nearly 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, presents a significant challenge that the school and district must address.

When compared to nearby schools, Rockingham County Middle performs relatively well within its own district, outperforming Western Rockingham Middle and J.E. Holmes Middle, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Guilford County Schools district, such as Northwest Guilford Middle, Kernodle Middle, and Northern Guilford Middle.
