Summary:
The 27505 zip code has only one school, Broadway Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Lee County Schools district. Broadway Elementary has consistently low test scores compared to the district and state averages, with only 53.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Math in 2024-2025, compared to 61.2% for Lee County and 64.1% for North Carolina. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1249 out of 1502 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1364 out of 1505 in 2023-2024.
Despite the low test scores, Broadway Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 in 2023-2024, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a very high rate of 99.38% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2023-2024, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic performance.
Overall, the data suggests that Broadway Elementary is a struggling school that requires additional resources and strategies to address its academic challenges and support student learning. The fluctuating statewide ranking and consistently low test scores compared to the district and state averages highlight the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the school's performance and the implementation of effective interventions to improve student outcomes.
