Summary:
The 27041 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Surry County Schools district. The standout performer in this group is Pilot Mountain Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top 20% of North Carolina middle schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Westfield Elementary lags behind, ranking in the bottom 30% of the state's elementary schools.
Pilot Mountain Middle School's test scores are significantly above the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. Pilot Mountain Elementary also performs well, ranking in the top 30% of North Carolina elementary schools, though not to the same degree as the middle school. East Surry High also exceeds district and state averages, but not as strongly as Pilot Mountain Middle.
The schools in the 27041 zip code area serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with white students making up the majority (77-85%) and Hispanic students as the next largest group (9-15%). However, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45% at East Surry High to 72% at Westfield Elementary, suggest these communities face significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting school performance.
