South Central had the highest enrollment among Pitt County schools, welcoming 1,603 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

Among the 33 schools in Pitt County, Junius H. Rose High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,461 students, while Chicod welcomed 931 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

South Central is part of Pitt County Schools district, which roughly covers institutions within Pitt County and has a main office in Greenville.

In the previous school year, South Central also had the highest number of students among Pitt County schools.

North Carolina's public schools are facing a significant funding gap, with a per-student expenditure of $10,519 — well below the national average of $14,295.

This financial strain is further compounded by a significant challenge in staffing with a staggering 58.4% surge in vacant teaching positions in the 2021-22 school year, leaving over 5,000 classrooms without qualified instructors.
