Summary:
The 28119 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Morven Elementary, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 155 students. The school's student population is predominantly African American (76.77%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (16.13%), White (1.94%), and Asian (0.65%) students.
Morven Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. Academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state standardized tests, is significantly below state and Anson County Schools district averages in both mathematics and reading across all grade levels. The school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 98.06% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's low academic performance, the per-student spending of $13,556 is relatively high compared to state and national averages. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to drive student achievement. Additionally, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity at Morven Elementary may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students.
