Summary:
The 27320 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Rockingham County Schools district, except for Stoney Creek Elementary which is part of the Caswell County Schools district, and Legacy Classical Academy which is a public charter school.
Among the standout schools in the area, Bethany Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Wentworth Elementary and Rockingham County Middle also stand out as strong performers, with 3-4 star ratings and scores above the district and state. In contrast, Moss Street Elementary and South End Elementary appear to be the lowest-performing schools in the area, with test scores well below the district and state averages.
Across the schools in the 27320 zip code, there are significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 89.66% to 99.67%. This suggests the area faces significant economic disadvantages that likely impact student performance and resource allocation. The data also reveals disparities in spending per student, from $8,153 at Rockingham County High to $46,554 at The SCORE Center, the alternative school. While the challenges are significant, the data indicates there are pockets of success that the district could potentially learn from and replicate across the lower-performing schools.
