Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28376

Summary:

The 28376 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the Hoke County Schools district. While the district is ranked 167 out of 242 in the state and has a 2-star rating, the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance among the schools in this area.

The standout school is SandHoke Early College High, which ranks 38th out of 640 high schools in North Carolina and earns a 5-star rating. This school has exceptional test scores, with over 90% of students proficient or better in key subjects. Other high-performing schools include Rockfish Hoke Elementary and Don D Steed Elementary, which rank in the top half of their respective categories in the state.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the district, with high rates of economic disadvantage (as indicated by free and reduced lunch rates) and wide disparities in academic performance. Some schools, such as J W McLauchlin Elementary and J W Turlington School, struggle with test scores well below the district and state averages. Addressing these inequities and ensuring all students have access to high-quality education will be crucial for improving outcomes in the 28376 zip code area.
