Summary:
The 27804 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 10 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Nash County Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 177 out of 242 in the state, the data reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools within the same area.
The standout school in the data set is NRM Early College High School, which consistently ranks among the top 103 high schools in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school boasts significantly higher test scores compared to the district and state averages, with over 80% of students proficient or better in key EOC exams. Another high-performing school is CITI High School, which is ranked 162 out of 640 high schools in the state and also has a 4-star rating. In contrast, Tar River Academy appears to be the lowest-performing school, ranking 621 out of 626 high schools in North Carolina and having a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data also reveals that the racial composition and socioeconomic status of the student populations seem to be correlated with the schools' performance, with the higher-performing schools having more diverse student bodies and lower free/reduced lunch rates. However, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to be directly linked to the schools' academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors may be contributing to the differences in performance across the 27804 zip code area.
