Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28163

Summary:

The 28163 zip code area has only one public elementary school, Stanfield Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 394 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance is generally below average compared to the Stanly County Schools district and the state of North Carolina.

Stanfield Elementary's mathematics and reading proficiency rates are lower than the county and state averages, with the 3rd and 5th grade students struggling the most. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate is slightly higher than the district and state. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools suggest that it is not among the top-performing schools in the area.

The high percentage of students (99.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that Stanfield Elementary serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact the school's resources and ability to support student learning. The school's declining state-wide ranking and below-average proficiency rates suggest that it may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
