While the district is ranked 193 out of 242 in the state and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out for their strong performance.

River Mill Academy, a public charter school serving grades K-12, consistently outperforms the state averages in both math and reading at all grade levels, and has a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%. Southern Alamance High also has relatively higher performance compared to the district and state, with a 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%. In contrast, Graham High has lower proficiency rates, but serves a high-need student population with an extremely high percentage (99.06%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The overall performance of schools in the 27253 zip code area is generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of River Mill Academy and Southern Alamance High. The data also reveals significant variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, suggesting that resources may not be evenly distributed within the Alamance-Burlington Schools district.
