Summary:
The 27107 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spread across two school districts - Davidson County Schools and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. While the area has some standout schools, such as Wallburg Elementary, Oak Grove High, and Oak Grove Middle, there are also several lower-performing schools that struggle with low test scores and rankings.
The data suggests a strong correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population and academic performance, with the schools serving the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Hall-Woodward Elementary, Smith Farm Elementary, Easton Elementary, and Forest Park Elementary, performing significantly worse on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. Interestingly, the data does not show a clear relationship between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond funding may be at play in driving student outcomes.
The analysis also highlights the potential benefits of the magnet school model, as Hanes Magnet School outperforms the other middle schools in the area. However, the smallest school in the data set, Main Street Academy, has the lowest test scores and rankings, raising questions about the impact of school size on academic performance. Overall, the data paints a complex picture of the schools in the 27107 zip code, with both high-performing and low-performing institutions, and suggests the need for targeted interventions to address the achievement gaps observed in the area.
