Summary:
The 28392 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Tar Heel School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 287 students. The school is part of the Bladen County Schools district, which is ranked 185 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tar Heel School has a diverse student population, with 23.34% White, 24.74% African American, 44.95% Hispanic, 4.88% Native American, and 2.09% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in EOG/Mathematics ranging from 14.8% in 8th grade to 54.5% in 4th grade, compared to the state average of 46.9% to 62.7%. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rates were lower than the district and state averages. This suggests that Tar Heel School may be struggling academically, which could be due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (98.95% receive free or reduced-price lunch).
Despite the challenges faced by Tar Heel School, the data highlights the need for targeted support and resources to ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status or background, have equal opportunities for academic success. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including interventions, additional resources, and collaboration with the broader community.
