Best Public Schools in Zip Code 28726

Summary:

The 28726 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school, all part of the Henderson County Schools district. While the schools serve a diverse student population with a significant Hispanic/Latino and White representation, they face challenges with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantages in the community.

East Henderson High School stands out as a bright spot, with relatively high proficiency rates in EOC/Math I and EOC/Math III, as well as improvements in other subject areas. In contrast, Flat Rock Middle School excels in EOG/Science for 8th grade and has shown progress in EOG/Mathematics for 7th and 8th grade. However, the schools generally perform below state and district averages, with Hillandale Elementary ranking particularly low among North Carolina elementary schools.

Despite the challenges, the schools in the 28726 zip code area have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.4 to 16.1 students per teacher, which could be a positive factor in their educational delivery. Additionally, the schools have shown some improvement in proficiency rates from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024, indicating potential progress. However, the overall statewide rankings suggest that these schools may require additional support and resources to enhance the educational outcomes for their students.
