Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28124


Summary:

The 28124 zip code area in Cabarrus County, North Carolina is home to three public schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school, all part of the Cabarrus County Schools district. Among these schools, Mount Pleasant Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mount Pleasant Elementary's academic excellence is particularly evident in its strong mathematics performance, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students significantly outperforming their peers at the district and state levels on End-of-Grade (EOG) tests. The other schools in the 28124 area, Mount Pleasant Middle and Mount Pleasant High, also perform reasonably well on EOG and End-of-Course (EOC) tests, though not as consistently as the elementary school. Across the three schools, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 74% to 87%, which could indicate a lack of diversity in the area.

Despite the academic success of Mount Pleasant Elementary, the schools in the 28124 zip code area face some economic challenges, with 38% to 46% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can impact academic outcomes and access to resources. However, the schools maintain relatively consistent funding and staffing, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their overall academic performance.
