Best Public Schools in Eastover, NC

Summary:

The city of Eastover, North Carolina is home to two high-performing elementary schools: Armstrong Elementary and Eastover-Central Elementary. Both schools consistently rank in the top 15% of North Carolina elementary schools and have earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating they provide an excellent education to their students.

Armstrong Elementary serves a higher-need student population, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school outperforms the Cumberland County Schools and North Carolina state averages in most standardized test subjects, particularly in mathematics. Eastover-Central Elementary, on the other hand, serves a less economically disadvantaged student population but also demonstrates strong academic performance, especially in science.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which likely contributes to their ability to provide personalized attention and support to students. Additionally, Armstrong Elementary spends significantly more per student than Eastover-Central Elementary, suggesting that the higher funding may be directed towards supporting the higher-need population at Armstrong and contributing to its academic success.
