Summary:

The 27302 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, except for one elementary school that belongs to the Caswell County Schools district.

Among the standout schools in the area are Hawfields Middle School, which consistently ranks in the top 30% of North Carolina middle schools with a 4-star rating and strong test scores, particularly in mathematics. Audrey W. Garrett Elementary and E.M. Yoder Elementary also perform well, ranking in the top 30-40% of North Carolina elementary schools with impressive proficiency rates in mathematics and reading. In contrast, South Elementary, part of the Caswell County Schools district, has lower proficiency rates compared to the other schools in the area.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student achievement, as the schools in the 27302 zip code have a wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 46.54% at E.M. Yoder Elementary to 97.25% at South Elementary. Additionally, the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the elementary schools may indicate a focus on early education, which could contribute to their stronger performance. Overall, the schools in the 27302 zip code area show a mix of strengths and challenges, with some institutions excelling while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.
