Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27813


Summary:

The 27813 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Lee Woodard Elementary, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Wilson County Schools district. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Lee Woodard Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's statewide ranking has improved in recent years, moving from 904 out of 1,514 schools in 2021-2022 to 619 out of 1,502 schools in 2022-2023, and it now ranks 549 out of 1,505 North Carolina elementary schools.

One area of potential concern is the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency, which at 34.8% is significantly lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's overall test scores generally exceed the Wilson County and North Carolina averages in mathematics, reading, and science for grades 3-5, with particularly strong performance in 5th-grade mathematics (76.2% proficient or better) and 5th-grade science (76.2% proficient or better). The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.8 for the 2022-2023 school year suggests a relatively small class size, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Lee Woodard Elementary is the only school in the 27813 zip code, its performance data indicates that it is a school that is making progress and performing well academically, particularly in mathematics and science, despite serving a high-poverty student population. The school's focus on improving reading proficiency, especially in the earlier grades, will be crucial to ensuring that all students develop the necessary literacy skills to succeed.
