Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27282

The 27282 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The data reveals a mix of strong and struggling academic performance across the schools, with notable standouts like GTCC Middle College High excelling in test scores and rankings, while other high schools like Lucy Ragsdale High and C Joyner Greene Education Center struggle academically.

The elementary schools, Millis Road Elementary and Jamestown Elementary, show relatively strong performance, with proficiency rates above the Guilford County Schools and state averages in many subject areas. However, the high schools, including College Prep and Leadership Academy, exhibit more significant challenges, with low test scores and rankings.

The data also reveals high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges facing the student population. The alternative schools, Haynes Inman Education Center and C Joyner Greene Education Center, have much higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes based on the available data.
