Summary:
The 27882 zip code area is home to two schools - Southern Nash Middle School and Spring Hope Elementary School. Both schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, with very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools have diverse student populations, their academic performance on state standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages, indicating a need for improvement.
Southern Nash Middle School has a relatively large student enrollment of 798 students in grades 6-8, with a diverse student population. However, the school's test scores are relatively low, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in most subject areas. In contrast, Spring Hope Elementary School has a smaller student enrollment of 363 students in grades PK-5, but also serves a high-need student population, with an extremely high percentage of students (88.43%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the differences in student enrollment and grade levels, both schools face significant challenges in serving their high-need student populations and improving academic outcomes. The data suggests that factors other than class size, such as targeted interventions and culturally responsive teaching practices, may be necessary to address these issues and support student success. Further analysis and support from the Nash County Public Schools district may be needed to help these schools better serve their communities.
