Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27937

Summary:

The 27937 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Buckland Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance shows a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming state and district averages, while others fall short.

Buckland Elementary has a predominantly White student population, with significant representation from African American and other racial groups. The school faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 55% of the student body receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these socioeconomic factors, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, which could be an asset in addressing the academic needs of its diverse student population.

While Buckland Elementary's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated in recent years, the school's performance in specific subject areas, such as 5th grade Science, has been a bright spot, outpacing both district and state averages. However, the school's struggles in 4th and 5th grade Mathematics, as well as Reading across all grade levels, suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements to ensure all students at Buckland Elementary receive a well-rounded and high-quality education.
