Summary:
The 28747 zip code is home to a single elementary school, T.C. Henderson, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 125 students. As the sole educational option in this area, T.C. Henderson is part of the Transylvania County Schools district, which is ranked 76 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating.
T.C. Henderson's student population is predominantly White (82.4%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (11.2%) and other racial/ethnic groups. The school's test scores show a mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency is higher than the district and state, but 3rd-grade reading proficiency is lower. The school has a high percentage of students (71.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
One potential strength of T.C. Henderson is its low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, suggesting a relatively small class size and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school's per-student spending of $14,225 for the 2018-2019 school year is an area that could be further explored to understand how resources are allocated and how they may impact student outcomes.
