Northeastern High School (often abbreviated NHS) is a public school located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, in the United States. It was founded in 1969, replacing Elizabeth City High School, P.W. Moore High School, and Central High School. Northeastern's mascot is the Eagle. Its school colors are green and gold. It is one of two high schools in Pasquotank County; the other is Pasquotank County High School.
Student demographics
As of 2005, the student body was composed of approximately 435 males and 420 females with a racial dynamic of 49% African American, 47.8% Caucasian, 0.7% Asian, 1.4% Hispanic, and 1.1% multi-racial.[ citation needed] Of the school's 855 students, 12.0% were identified academically gifted while 11.9% were identified exceptional.[ citation needed]
Enrollment
Northeastern High School served an average of 855 students during the 2003–04 school year.[ citation needed] Additionally, 114 Pasquotank County High School students were served at NHS for at least one class. There were 63 transfer students, 27 students who enrolled at COA and 18 students who chose not to enroll in another educational setting. Five students were early graduates. This reflects a 7.2% decrease in transfers from 14.6% in 2002–2003 to 7.4% in 2003–2004.[ citation needed] The state-defined dropout rate increased from 4.4% in 2002–2003 to 5.3% in 2003–2004. The percent of early graduates was almost cut in half for the third year in a row, going from 1.9% in 2002–2003 to 0.52% in 2003–2004.[ citation needed]
Promotion rates
89.3% of the students at Northeastern High School were promoted at the conclusion of the spring 2004 semester.[ citation needed] This is very similar to the 90.3% promotion rate previous year. The highest number of retentions still remains at the ninth grade level with 15.3% (38 out of 248 students) not meeting promotion standards. This 15.3% is slightly lower than the 15.9% retention rate at the ninth grade level in 2003. The senior class of 2004 had 171 graduates receiving diplomas and 3 receiving certificates, reflecting a graduation rate of 98.3%.
Post-graduation plans for seniors reveal the following distribution: 51% four-year college, 23% two-year college, and 26% other. There were 56 North Carolina scholars and 37 honor graduates in the 2004 graduating class. Approximately $800,000 was awarded in scholarships to the class of 2004.[ citation needed]
