Summary:
The 28464 zip code has only one high school, Wallace-Rose Hill High, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Duplin County Schools district. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools in recent years, with test scores below the district and state averages. Despite relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, Wallace-Rose Hill High faces challenges, including a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high poverty levels in the community.
Wallace-Rose Hill High's four-year graduation rate is 87.7%, which is a positive metric, but the school's overall academic performance, as measured by statewide rankings and test scores, is concerning. The school's Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III End-of-Course exam scores are significantly lower than the Duplin County Schools and North Carolina state averages, suggesting that students at Wallace-Rose Hill High are struggling academically compared to their peers in the district and state.
While the school's resources, as indicated by its spending per student and student-teacher ratio, suggest a potential for improvement, the data highlights the need for a closer examination of how these resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and address the challenges faced by the school. Identifying and implementing effective strategies to improve academic outcomes for the students at Wallace-Rose Hill High should be a priority for the school and the Duplin County Schools district.
