Summary:
The 28560 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools in this area, with Grover C Fields Middle and Brinson Memorial Elementary standing out as the top-performing schools, consistently outperforming the Craven County Board of Education district and the state of North Carolina in most subject areas.
Grover C Fields Middle and Brinson Memorial Elementary have diverse student populations and relatively lower free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. In contrast, Oaks Road Academy, Bridgeton Elementary, and J.T. Barber Elementary struggle academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages.
The data suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the academic success of the top-performing schools, and further investigation into school leadership, teacher quality, curriculum, and other contextual factors would be necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the drivers of student achievement in this area.
