However, the data also reveals challenges faced by many of the schools in the 28348 zip code area. Most have very high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating significant economic disadvantage among the student populations. While higher-spending schools tend to perform better academically, the middle schools in the area show a wide range of performance, with some struggling to meet district and state averages.
