Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28586


Summary:

The 28586 zip code area is home to two schools - West Craven High School, the only high school in the area, and Vanceboro-Farm Life Elementary School, the sole elementary school. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with extremely high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, indicating significant challenges faced by families in the community.

While West Craven High School has a relatively large student enrollment of 860, its academic performance on state-wide End-of-Course (EOC) exams is consistently below the Craven County and North Carolina averages across all subjects. In contrast, Vanceboro-Farm Life Elementary School has a more mixed performance on End-of-Grade (EOG) exams, with some grade levels performing above the county and state averages, while others lag behind.

The differences in student-teacher ratios between the high school (17.1) and the elementary school (14.5), as well as the slightly higher spending per student at the elementary school ($10,168 vs. $9,958), may contribute to the varying academic outcomes. Addressing the significant economic challenges faced by the student population and implementing targeted interventions based on the detailed performance data could be crucial in improving educational outcomes in this community.
