Summary:
The 27850 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools: Northwest Halifax Collegiate and Technic, a high school, and Aurelian Springs Institute of Global Lea, an elementary school. Both schools serve a predominantly African American student population and face significant challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests and extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of poverty in the area.
Academically, Northwest Halifax Collegiate and Technic struggles, with proficiency rates ranging from just 14.3% to 27.7% across different subject areas. Aurelian Springs Institute of Global Lea has mixed performance, with some grades performing better than others. Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in this area.
The data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in the 27850 zip code, with both schools facing significant challenges. Addressing the underlying issues, such as the high poverty levels and racial disparities, will be crucial for improving the academic performance and overall success of these schools. The Halifax County Schools district will need to implement targeted interventions and support to help these schools and the broader community they serve.
