Summary

Enloe High is one of the largest public high schools in the Raleigh, NC area, serving 2,643 students in grades 9–12 within Wake County Schools. The school earns a solid 4-out-of-5-star rating and ranks 175th out of 662 North Carolina high schools, placing it in the 74th percentile statewide. For parents comparing options, Enloe stands out as the highest-ranked large traditional high school in the immediate area. Its closest large-school peer, Needham Broughton High, ranks just below at the 71st percentile, while smaller specialized schools like Raleigh Charter High School and Wake Young Men's Leadership Academy rank higher but serve far fewer students and offer more selective programs.

Academically, Enloe performs well above state averages in Biology (78% proficient vs. 58.5% statewide), English II (84.7% vs. 64.6%), and Math III (81.5% vs. 68.9%). The one striking exception is Math I, where only 27.8% of students scored proficient—well below the district average of 36.6% and the state average of 42.1%. Math I proficiency has improved from 11.3% in 2022–2023, but the persistent gap suggests students taking Math I in high school may need more targeted support. The graduation rate is a definite strength, holding consistently above 90% for five straight years.

Enloe's biggest operational challenge is chronic absenteeism. At 25.3%, the school's rate is about 5 percentage points above the Wake County district average of 20.5% and slightly above the state average of 24.2%. It is far better than nearby Southeast Raleigh High (43.0%), but it trails Needham Broughton's 23.4%. The school also shows meaningful achievement gaps within its otherwise strong results: Hispanic and low-income students rank in the 35th and 30th percentiles statewide for their subgroups, respectively, while Asian, White, and multiracial students rank in the 81st–88th percentiles. English Learner outcomes are improving sharply, rising from the 18th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 55th percentile in 2025–2026. For a school of its size, Enloe is a dependable, above-average choice, but attendance and math pathway support are worth watching closely.
