Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28371

Summary:

The 28371 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Parkton Elementary, which serves grades PK-8. Parkton Elementary is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 216 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkton Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families. However, the school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science that are significantly lower than district and state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. This may be due to factors such as lower per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio, which could impact the quality of instruction.

While Parkton Elementary's racial and ethnic diversity is a potential strength, the data indicates that the school is not effectively serving all student groups equally. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to address achievement gaps and improve academic outcomes for the school's high-needs student population. Overall, the data suggests that families in the 28371 zip code may have limited educational options and that significant improvements may be necessary to ensure that Parkton Elementary provides a high-quality education for its students.
