Best Public Schools in Bunn, NC

Summary:

The city of Bunn, North Carolina is home to three schools - Bunn High, Bunn Middle, and Bunn Elementary - all part of the Franklin County Schools district. These schools serve students from elementary through high school grades.

Among the three schools, Bunn Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, with a strong statewide ranking and higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in most grade-level math, reading, and science assessments. In contrast, Bunn High and Bunn Middle struggle academically, with lower proficiency rates than the district and state in most subject areas.

All three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.53% at Bunn High to 75.99% at Bunn Elementary.
