Summary:
The 28214 zip code area of Charlotte, North Carolina is home to 11 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a diverse educational landscape, with standout performers like Jackson Day School, a public charter school with strong academic performance, and Paw Creek Elementary, a public magnet school with a 4-star statewide ranking and students exceeding district and state averages in core subjects.
However, the data also highlights significant disparities in student achievement across the schools. While some, like Coulwood STEM Academy, a public magnet middle school, excel in STEM subjects, others, such as Turning Point Academy and Wilson STEM Academy, struggle to meet state standards. These performance gaps often correlate with high rates of economic disadvantage, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, underscoring the challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the area.
The data suggests that Jackson Day School and other magnet and charter schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district may be providing more effective educational opportunities for students compared to traditional public schools. However, the wide range in performance across the schools highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of struggling schools and student populations in the 28214 zip code area.
