Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27006

Summary:

The 27006 zip code area is home to two schools - Shady Grove Elementary and William Ellis Middle, both part of the Davie County Schools district. Based on the available data, Shady Grove Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Shady Grove Elementary has a strong academic record, with students scoring significantly above the district and state averages on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 95th out of 1,490 North Carolina elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 500 students enrolled in grades PK-5, Shady Grove Elementary has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 15:1 and spends $8,932 per student.

In contrast, William Ellis Middle serves 469 students in grades 6-8, with a slightly lower student-to-teacher ratio of 14.3:1 and a higher per-student funding of $9,860. However, the middle school's academic performance does not match that of Shady Grove Elementary, suggesting that funding alone does not necessarily translate to better educational outcomes. The difference in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch between the two schools (27.4% at Shady Grove Elementary and 38.38% at William Ellis Middle) may indicate a variation in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations.
