Summary:
The 28303 zip code area of Fayetteville, North Carolina is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools. This diverse set of schools serves students from a range of socioeconomic and racial/ethnic backgrounds, with some standout performers as well as schools facing significant challenges.
At the top of the pack is Cumberland Polytechnic, a high school that consistently ranks among the best in the state with exceptional test scores and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate. On the other end, Alger B. Wilkins High School struggles with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. The data also reveals stark contrasts in spending per student, ranging from $8,221 at Vanstory Hills Elementary to $13,760 at Alger B. Wilkins High School.
Across the district, there appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with high-poverty schools generally underperforming. This suggests significant challenges and inequities that the Cumberland County Schools district will need to address to ensure all students have access to a quality education, regardless of their background or the school they attend.
