Summary:
The 28305 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools serve diverse student populations, they face significant economic challenges, with all three schools having extremely high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, R Max Abbott Middle School stands out for its relatively strong academic performance, outperforming the district and state averages on most standardized test metrics, particularly in 8th grade science. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Margaret Willis Elementary and Alma O Easom Elementary, struggle to meet state and district averages on test scores.
The data also reveals disparities in funding, with Cumberland County Schools spending more per student at the lower-performing elementary schools compared to the higher-performing middle school. This suggests that targeted interventions and additional resources could potentially benefit the schools, particularly in addressing the achievement gaps at the elementary level.
