Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27593

Summary:

The 27593 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Wilson's Mills Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 503 students. The school is part of the Johnston County Public Schools district and has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and African American students.

While Wilson's Mills Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is also below the district and state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency, with the exception of 5th-grade science proficiency, which is higher than the averages. This underperformance may be linked to the school's high percentage of students (82.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Overall, the data suggests that Wilson's Mills Elementary is facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. While the school has sufficient staffing resources, it may need to focus on improving its core academic programs in mathematics and reading to better support student learning and achievement. Further investigation into the school's specific challenges and strategies for improvement would be necessary to develop a more comprehensive understanding of its performance and potential areas for growth.
