Summary:
The 27917 zip code area in Currituck County, North Carolina is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Currituck County Schools district. While the schools generally perform above the state average on standardized tests, there are some notable differences in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Currituck County High School stands out as the strongest performer, exceeding the state average on several End-of-Course (EOC) exams, including Biology, English II, and Math III. The high school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 29.99%, compared to the other schools in the area. In contrast, Currituck County Middle School outperforms the state on several End-of-Grade (EOG) exams, particularly in 6th grade Mathematics and 8th grade Science, suggesting a solid academic foundation for students before they transition to the high school.
While the schools in the 27917 zip code area generally have a predominantly white student population, Central Elementary stands out as the school with the lowest SchoolDigger rating and struggles to meet the state average on several EOG exams, especially in Reading. This could indicate areas for improvement or additional support needed at the elementary level. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may be worth further investigation to understand how these factors relate to the schools' academic performance and student outcomes.
