Summary:
There is only one school located in the 27505 zip code, Broadway Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 483 students. The school's performance is significantly below the Lee County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in reading proficiency. Additionally, Broadway Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 78.88% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Broadway Elementary's test scores are notably lower than the district and state, with only 39.2% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to 65.4% for Lee County and 62.7% for North Carolina. The largest gaps are in reading, where Broadway Elementary's proficiency rates are 20-30 percentage points behind the district and state. This underperformance suggests the school may be struggling to provide students with the necessary academic support and resources to achieve proficiency.
The combination of low test scores and high poverty rates at Broadway Elementary indicates the school could benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and address the unique challenges faced by its student population. While there is only one school in the 27505 zip code, expanding the analysis to a broader geographic area or including more schools in the data set would provide a richer context for evaluating Broadway Elementary's performance and identifying potential areas for improvement.
