Better than 19% of North Carolina middle schools

Summary

Corriher Lipe Middle serves 457 students in grades 6 through 8 in Landis, North Carolina, and is part of the Rowan-Salisbury Schools district. The school has ranked in the bottom fifth of North Carolina middle schools for nearly a decade, placing at the 19th percentile statewide in 2025-26. Nearly every student (99.34%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism affects 37.6% of students — more than 13 points above the statewide rate.

Despite these challenges, Corriher Lipe shows a clear and sustained strength in math. In 2025-26, the school outperformed its district in every grade tested, and its 8th grade math proficiency rate of 45.7% was the top score among Rowan-Salisbury middle schools, ahead of Erwin Middle (36.0%), Southeast Middle (33.5%), and China Grove Middle (30.6%). Corriher Lipe has outperformed its district in 8th grade math for several consecutive years. Reading is a greater concern: only 31.4% of 8th graders were proficient in reading in 2025-26, the lowest among nearby same-district middle schools and a significant drop from the year before.

The contrast with schools across district lines is striking. Higher-performing schools nearby, like Harris Road Middle and Mooresville Middle, serve much smaller low-income populations and post dramatically higher proficiency rates, while Corriher Lipe generally outperforms the similarly high-poverty Kannapolis Middle School 6 and Kannapolis Middle School 7/8 in most subjects. Perhaps the most useful comparison is China Grove Middle, located just 3.3 miles away in the same district and serving nearly identical demographics. China Grove beats Corriher Lipe in most subjects, yet Corriher Lipe outpaces China Grove in 8th grade math by more than 15 percentage points — a reminder that even similar schools can have very different strengths.
