Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27046

Summary:

The 27046 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Sandy Ridge Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with an enrollment of 156 students. The school's performance metrics reveal a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with a need to address declining academic rankings and achievement gaps in certain subject areas.

Sandy Ridge Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 85.9% of students identifying as white. The school's test scores in mathematics are generally on par with the Stokes County Schools district and North Carolina state averages, but its reading and science scores lag behind, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. Additionally, the school has a high rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 72.44%, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population.

The most concerning finding is the steady decline in Sandy Ridge Elementary's statewide ranking, from 4 out of 5 stars in 2021-2022 to just 2 out of 5 stars in the current 2023-2024 school year. This trend suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support programs to address the underlying factors contributing to the performance decline and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
