Pender County leaders meet to discuss schools on ‘Low-Performing’ list
BURGAW, NC (WWAY) — According to the North Carolina State Board of Education Department of Public Instruction, a number of schools in the Cape Fear area are on the 2022-2023 Low-Performing Schools List.
In Pender County, seven schools in the district have been determined as “low-performing.” On Monday, the Pender County Board of Education discussed the schools on the list and a plan to improve them.
The schools include Burgaw Middle, Penderlea Middle, Pender High, Malpass Corner Elementary, Cape Fear Middle, C. F. Pope Middle, and West Pender Middle schools.
According to North Carolina law, the schools had to develop a plan to improve performance and those plans were presented to the board on Monday. The three biggest areas of improvement are academic, culture and health and safety.
The seven schools have been assigned “improvement teams” which include teachers, staff and parents. Last year, eight schools in Pender County made the list. The district has 19 schools.
Other schools across the WWAY coverage area are also on the 2022-2023 Low-Performing Schools List. They are listed below with the District Name, School Code, School Name, State Board Region, Grade Span, School Performance Grade and EVAAS Growth Status.
