Summary:
The 28572 zip code area has only one school, Pink Hill Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 459 students. The school's racial makeup is 50.98% White, 9.15% African American, and 36.17% Hispanic, and it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 99.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Pink Hill Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading that were generally higher than the Lenoir County Public Schools and North Carolina state averages in the 2023-2024 school year, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade. However, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were more mixed, with some grades performing above and others below the district and state averages. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,287, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4.
While Pink Hill Elementary has shown some areas of strong academic performance, the fluctuations in proficiency rates and the high poverty levels suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement. A more comprehensive analysis of the school's strengths, challenges, and strategies for supporting student success would be valuable to guide decision-making and support the school's continuous improvement efforts.
