Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27016

Summary:

The 27016 zip code is home to a single public high school, North Stokes High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 287 students. The school is part of the Stokes County Schools district, which is ranked 133 out of 242 school districts in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Stokes High School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 1 and 3 stars over the past few years. The school's proficiency rates on End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally lower than the Stokes County and North Carolina averages, with the exception of Math III. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50.52%). However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 could be a positive factor, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.

In terms of academic performance, North Stokes High School's four-year graduation rate was 87.7% in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's spending per student was $14,520 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average. While this could indicate a focus on providing resources and support for students, it's unclear how these funds are being allocated and whether they are having a measurable impact on student outcomes.
