The 27360 zip code area is home to 13 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools, spread across two school districts - Davidson County Schools and Thomasville City Schools. While the area has a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, a few standouts emerge, including Davidson Early College, which ranks 44th out of 640 high schools in North Carolina, and Ledford Middle, which ranks 189th out of 793 middle schools.

The academic performance of the schools in the 27360 zip code area varies, with some schools, such as Brier Creek Elementary and Fair Grove Elementary, demonstrating relatively strong performance, particularly in Math. However, the schools in the Thomasville City Schools district, including Thomasville Primary, Thomasville High, and Thomasville Middle, consistently underperform compared to the state and Davidson County Schools averages.

The data also reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as Thomasville Primary and Thomasville High, tend to have lower proficiency rates in standardized tests. However, the analysis also suggests that with the right resources and support, diverse schools can still achieve strong academic outcomes, as seen in the case of Thomasville Primary.
