Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27970


Summary:

The 27970 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools, Pines Elementary and Washington County Middle, which serve a predominantly low-income, minority student population. Both schools consistently rank in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide and struggle to meet academic proficiency standards, with some exceptions in certain grade levels and subjects.

Pines Elementary and Washington County Middle have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 99.29% and 98.63%, respectively, and serve a student body that is over 84% African American.
