Summary:

ZIP code 27106 in Winston Salem, North Carolina, is served by a single high school, Mount Tabor High School, which educates students in grades 9 through 12 within the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district. Because only one high school exists in this area, this profile focuses entirely on Mount Tabor, a school where nearly all students (99.79%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating an extremely high-poverty environment. The school enrolls 1,426 students with a student-teacher ratio of 17.6 to 1.

Mount Tabor’s academic performance shows a mix of challenges and progress. In 2025-2026, proficiency rates were below both district and state averages in every End-of-Course subject. The largest concern is Math I, where only 17.5% of students scored proficient—24.6 percentage points below the state average—and proficiency fell from 19.6% the previous year. Math III, however, improved dramatically by 9.7 points to 55.8%, and both Biology (46.6%) and English II (54.5%) also improved year-over-year, though gaps versus the state remain. The school’s statewide ranking has declined steadily, falling from the 32nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026, with its star rating dropping from 2 to 1 stars.

Chronic absenteeism is a serious obstacle, affecting 43.2% of students—well above the district rate of 33.6% and the state rate of 24.2%. Despite these challenges, Mount Tabor’s graduation rate stands at 87.8%, exceeding the district rate of 86.3% and nearly matching the state rate of 88.8%. This suggests that although test proficiency and attendance remain low, the school is still helping most students earn diplomas. For parents, the key takeaway is that Mount Tabor faces significant hurdles tied to poverty and absenteeism, yet shows encouraging gains in several subjects. While no other high schools are available in 27106 for direct comparison, families should weigh the school’s improving test scores against its ongoing struggles with math proficiency and declining state rank.
