Summary:
The 27127 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with most having free/reduced lunch rates over 95%. While the area has a mix of performance levels, a few schools stand out as either high-performing or serving a unique student population effectively.
Clemmons Middle School is the highest performing middle school in the area, with a 3-star rating and test scores above the district and state averages. In contrast, Flat Rock Middle and Philo-Hill Magnet Academy struggle academically, with test scores significantly below the averages. The alternative Carter G. Woodson School stands out for serving a high-need population effectively, despite lower test scores.
The data also reveals stark differences in performance and funding across the schools, even within the same Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district. Friedberg Elementary, which is part of the Davidson County Schools district, is the highest performing elementary school in the area. This complex landscape highlights the significant challenges facing many of the high-poverty schools in the 27127 zip code, as well as the need for further analysis to understand the drivers behind these performance trends.
