Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27262

Summary:

The 27262 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools serve a diverse student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in this area, Kirkman Park Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and reading among the elementary schools and outperforming the Guilford County Schools district and state averages. Montlieu Academy of Technology also impresses with its high proficiency rates in mathematics and science, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades, and its diverse student population. In contrast, Pruette SCALE Academy, a small high school with only 11 students, struggles academically, with significantly lower performance on the English II end-of-course exam compared to the district and state.

The data also reveals significant disparities in per-student spending, ranging from $9,974 at Ferndale Middle to $47,033 at Pruette SCALE Academy, raising questions about equitable funding practices across the district. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary widely, from 10.6 at Kirkman Park Elementary to 16.5 at Montlieu Academy of Technology, which may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance.
