Summary:
The 27828 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse, high-poverty student population, with consistently low academic performance compared to district and state averages. However, a few standout schools and metrics provide some bright spots worth highlighting.
Farmville Central High stands out for its relatively strong proficiency rates in EOC Math I, outperforming the Pitt County Schools district and the state. In contrast, the school struggles in other EOC subjects like Biology, English II, and Math III. Sam D Bundy Elementary also shows promise, with 5th grade students performing well above the district and state averages on the EOG Science assessment.
However, the overall picture is concerning, with most schools in the 27828 zip code area performing below the district and state averages on standardized tests. This is likely exacerbated by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 98.94% to 99.51%, indicating a high-poverty student population. Additionally, the significant differences in spending per student across the schools suggest potential funding inequities that may impact the resources and support available to students and teachers.
