As I mentioned in two previous blog posts, the N.C. Department of Public Instruction just released figures for the 2018-19 school year.

Note that city school systems follow the county in which they operate, e.g., Asheville City Schools follows Buncombe County Schools.

Ranks: 1 = highest (Hyde County Schools) and 116 = lowest (Innovative School District, which is one school).
