Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28675

Summary:

The 28675 zip code area is home to two schools - Sparta Elementary and Alleghany High, both part of the Alleghany County Schools district. While Sparta Elementary stands out for its relatively high mathematics proficiency, it struggles with reading scores that fall below the county and state averages. In contrast, Alleghany High excels in Math I end-of-course exams but underperforms in English II and Math III.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates of 76.7% at Sparta Elementary and 58.92% at Alleghany High. This high level of economic need likely presents unique challenges and resource requirements for these schools. Sparta Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom third of North Carolina elementary schools, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve its overall academic standing. Alleghany High, on the other hand, has seen some fluctuation in its statewide ranking, with a recent improvement to 320 out of 640 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that positive changes may be underway.

Overall, the analysis of the school data reveals both strengths and areas for improvement for the two schools in the 28675 zip code. Ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions will be crucial to address the unique needs of these schools and support their academic growth, particularly in addressing the disparities in reading and mathematics proficiency and ensuring more consistent performance across subject areas.
