Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27823

Summary:

The 27823 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 3 public schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings.

The student populations at Enfield Middle S.T.E.A.M. Academy, Inborden Elementary S.T.E.A.M. Academy, and Pittman Elementary Leadership Academy are overwhelmingly African American, with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, these schools have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 97.84% to 98.57%, indicating that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools are still struggling to improve student outcomes. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. Overall, the data suggests that significant interventions and support are needed to address the systemic issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this Halifax County Schools community.
