Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28071

Summary:

The 28071 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Morgan Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 281 students. As part of the Rowan-Salisbury Schools district, which is ranked 212 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Morgan Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Morgan Elementary's test scores are consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, suggesting that the school is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 64.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance.

Despite the challenges facing Morgan Elementary, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 1, which could be an asset in providing more personalized attention to students. However, the school's low district ranking and 1-star rating, combined with its below-average test scores and high poverty rates, suggest that it may be facing resource challenges that are impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education. Targeted interventions and support from the district and community will be crucial in helping Morgan Elementary improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
