Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27127

Summary:

The 27127 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district, except for Friedberg Elementary which is part of the Davidson County Schools district.

A few schools stand out in the data: Clemmons Middle School consistently ranks among the top 50% of middle schools in North Carolina and has significantly above-average test scores, while Friedberg Elementary is the highest performing school, ranking in the top 25% of elementary schools statewide with very strong test scores. In contrast, Flat Rock Middle and Philo-Hill Magnet Academy struggle with lower proficiency rates.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the schools, which appear to be closely tied to socioeconomic factors. Most schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, over 95%, indicating concentrated poverty in the area. Carter G.

Overall, the 27127 zip code area presents a complex picture of school performance, with both high-achieving and struggling schools.
