Among the three schools in Graham County, Robbinsville High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 333 students, while Robbinsville Middle School welcomed 246 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
