Summary:
The 27536 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Vance County Schools district. While the district as a whole is struggling, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some standout schools in the area that are producing strong academic results.
The top-performing school in the data set is Henderson Collegiate, a public charter school serving grades K-12. Henderson Collegiate consistently outperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with 94.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 58.1%. Another standout is STEM Early High, a public middle school that ranks in the top 128 out of 793 middle schools in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing schools and the lowest-performing schools in the area, such as Vance County Middle School, AdVance Academy, and Vance Virtual Village Academy. This suggests that the Vance County Schools district as a whole is facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
