Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27534


Summary:

The 27534 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Wayne County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 154 out of 242 in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating, the data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance among the schools in this area.

The standout schools include Meadow Lane Elementary, which ranks 419 out of 1,505 North Carolina elementary schools and has strong test scores, and Wayne Early/Middle College High, which ranks 82 out of 640 North Carolina high schools and has exceptional test scores that significantly outperform the district and state averages. Another high-performing school is Greenwood Middle, which ranks 298 out of 793 North Carolina middle schools and has strong test scores.

In contrast, several of the other schools in the 27534 zip code area, such as Tommy's Road Elementary, Eastern Wayne Elementary, and Eastern Wayne Middle, have lower academic performance. This disparity in educational outcomes within the same district suggests that factors such as school leadership, teacher quality, and access to resources may play a significant role in the varying levels of student achievement. Additionally, the high poverty levels, as indicated by the extremely high free and reduced lunch rates across the schools, present significant challenges for the district in supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
