Summary

Southeastern Stokes Middle School is a public middle school located in Walnut Cove, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 407 students. The school is part of the Stokes County Schools district, which is ranked 133 out of 242 districts in the state.

Southeastern Stokes Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in terms of proficiency rates on End-of-Grade (EOG) tests for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 309 out of 741 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 627 out of 773 in 2024-2025, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, particularly African American, White, and Gifted and Talented students.

Southeastern Stokes Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Piney Grove Middle School and Chestnut Grove Middle School. This may contribute to the school's academic challenges and suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this student population.
