September 10, 2025
Johnston County Public Schools (JCPS) has released its 2024-2025 school year performance data, as reported by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), noting that the district has INCREASED its RANKING to 30TH in the STATE of NORTH CAROLINA!
The district’s rank of 30 out of 115 public school units is a noteworthy accomplishment, as the district's academic achievement continues to show improvement in comparison, moving from 80th in 2018, 83rd in 2019, 41st in 2023, and 35th in 2024. The improvement from 2024 has been due primarily to reading and math gains.
“The gains we have seen this year are the direct result of the hard work of our students, the tireless commitment of our staff, and the support of our community, especially our families,” stated Dr. Pearce, Superintendent of JCPS. “Any success we experience is brought about by the collective efforts of the entire JCPS family.”
