While the district is ranked 47th out of 242 in the state and has a 4-star rating, the schools in this area show a mix of high-performing and underperforming institutions.

Watauga High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of North Carolina high schools and earning a 4-star rating. Its students excel on end-of-course exams, particularly in Math III and English II, where proficiency rates are well above the state average. Hardin Park Elementary and Parkway Elementary are also high-performing, 4-star rated schools that rank in the top 20% of North Carolina elementary schools, with strong student performance on end-of-grade exams.

In contrast, Green Valley Elementary lags behind, with student proficiency rates on end-of-grade exams often 20-30 percentage points below the state average. This performance gap may be linked to the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting socioeconomic factors play a role in student outcomes. The wide range in spending per student, from $2,667 at Watauga Innovation Academy to $11,487 at Hardin Park Elementary, may also contribute to the differences in academic performance across the schools in the 28607 zip code area.
