Summary:
The 27817 zip code area in Beaufort County, North Carolina is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Beaufort County Schools district. The standout school in this area is Chocowinity Primary, an exceptional elementary school that consistently ranks among the top in the state. While the schools in this area face significant economic challenges, with very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Chocowinity Primary has demonstrated exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics.
Across the three schools, there is a diverse student population with varying racial compositions. Chocowinity Primary has the highest percentage of White students at 50.1%, while Southside High has the highest percentage of African American students at 34.6%. The schools also differ in their per-student spending, with Southside High having the highest at $12,556 and Chocowinity Middle having the lowest at $9,367.
The exceptional performance of Chocowinity Primary, particularly in mathematics, suggests that the school may have valuable practices or strategies that could be shared with other schools in the Beaufort County Schools district or the state of North Carolina. However, the high rates of economic disadvantage across all three schools highlight the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
