There were 9,495 students enrolled in Duplin County Schools in the 2023-24 school year, 0.4% less than the previous year, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

Duplin County Schools roughly covers 13 schools within Duplin County and has a main office in Kenansville.

Among the 13 schools in Duplin County Schools, Wallace Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of 1,093 students in the 2023-24 school year.

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.
