In brief
Deep Run’s schools, in brief
Graduation holds up better than test scores
Test scores run well below the state, but 85% of students still graduate on time. That’s only 3 points under the state average of 88%.
Which school depends on your street
With nine elementary and four middle schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. Elementary grades range from D− to B−, so it’s worth checking the specific school, not just the town. After that, everyone goes to South Lenoir High. See the path ↓
This summary is written from the data on this page. Test scores are from 2020–21, a pandemic year, so treat small gaps with caution.

How the School Grade works
Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on North Carolina’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of North Carolina only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
