Summary:
The 28619 zip code area has only one school, Hallyburton Academy, a public high school serving grades 6-12. With an enrollment of just 101 students, Hallyburton Academy stands out for its consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 10% of North Carolina high schools over the past three years.
Hallyburton Academy's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the county and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 7th grade math, the school had a 20% proficiency rate, compared to 53.8% for the Burke County Schools district and 50.4% for the state of North Carolina. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students.
The high percentage of students (97.03%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Hallyburton Academy suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Further investigation would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's poor performance and identify potential strategies for improvement.
