Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27342

Summary:

The 27342 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Sedalia Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 550 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, its overall academic performance and rankings are relatively low compared to other schools in the Guilford County Schools district and the state of North Carolina.

Sedalia Elementary's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 68.7%, compared to 59.8% for the district and 62.7% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 859 out of 1,514 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 952 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. This suggests a concerning trend of declining performance relative to other schools in the state.

The high percentage of students (62.36%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sedalia Elementary indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact the school's resources and ability to support student learning. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, the data suggests that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve academic outcomes for the school's diverse student population.
