Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27844


Summary:

The 27844 zip code area is home to two schools: Hollister Elementary Leadership Academy, an elementary school, and Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School, an alternative school. Both schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the academic performance of these schools is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below state and district averages.

Hollister Elementary Leadership Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates as low as 10-20% in math, reading, and science. In contrast, Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School has a more mixed performance, with some grade levels performing above the state average in math and reading, while others are significantly below. The tribal school's unique student demographic, with a majority of Native American students, may present both opportunities and challenges in providing culturally responsive education.

Despite the challenges faced by these schools, there are some potential strengths to build upon. Haliwa-Saponi Tribal School has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.9, which could allow for more individualized attention and support. However, this alone does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic performance. Overall, the schools in the 27844 zip code area require targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on addressing the unique needs of their high-poverty, racially diverse student populations to improve student outcomes.
