Summary:
The 27508 zip code area has only one high school, Bunn High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 379 out of 626 schools in 2022-2023 and 451 out of 640 schools in 2023-2024, and its star rating varying from 2 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 during this period.
Bunn High's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, is generally lower than the Franklin County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 32% in Biology, 50.2% in English II, and 34.1% in Math I, compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (64.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.5 at Bunn High, the school's academic performance metrics suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the observed gaps in student achievement. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's challenges could lead to meaningful improvements in student outcomes and better prepare students for success after high school.
