Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27215


Summary:

The 27215 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 174 out of 242 in the state and has a 1-star rating, a few standout schools in the area are worth highlighting.

Marvin B. Smith Elementary and Edwin M. Holt Elementary are the top-performing schools in the area, ranking in the top 330 and 605 elementary schools in North Carolina, respectively. Both schools have significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. In contrast, Grove Park Elementary and Harvey R. Newlin Elementary struggle to meet even the district's average test scores, highlighting the stark disparities in academic performance among the schools in this area.

The student demographics and economic factors also vary widely across the schools. Some, like Highland Elementary, have a majority white student population, while others, like Hillcrest Elementary and Harvey R. Newlin Elementary, have predominantly minority student bodies. Additionally, several schools have very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors, along with differences in school funding and leadership, likely contribute to the wide range of academic outcomes observed in the 27215 zip code area.
