Summary:
The 27809 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, serving predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations. While these schools face significant challenges, they also have some potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
The two standout schools in this area are M B Hubbard Elementary and Coker-Wimberly Elementary, both of which serve high-need student populations with over 85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These schools consistently perform below the Nash County Public Schools and Edgecombe County Public Schools averages on standardized tests, though they do have the advantage of relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a strength if leveraged effectively.
The other two schools in the area, Red Oak Middle and Phillips Middle, also face challenges, with test scores generally below district and state averages. However, these schools also have low student-teacher ratios, which could be an asset in supporting student learning. The variation in spending per student, ranging from $8,118 to $13,631, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation that may impact the educational experiences and outcomes of students in this area.
