Pinecrest High School had the highest enrollment among Moore County schools, welcoming 2,223 students during the 2023-24 school year, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

Among the 23 schools in Moore County, Union Pines High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,385 students, while STARS Charter welcomed 862 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Pinecrest High School is part of Moore County Schools district, which roughly covers institutions within Moore County and has a main office in Carthage.

In the previous school year, Pinecrest High School also had the highest number of students among Moore County schools.

North Carolina’s student-teacher ratio is roughly 15.4 students per teacher, aligning with the national average. However, rising teacher turnover threatens to push class sizes higher, making it harder for students to get individualized attention.

If vacancies continue to grow, schools may struggle to maintain this ratio, impacting the quality of instruction. Districts in lower-funded areas face the biggest challenges, as limited budgets make it harder to attract and retain teachers.
