Summary:
The 27509 zip code area has only one elementary school, Butner-Stem Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school faces some challenges, with a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and academic performance that generally falls below district and state averages.
Butner-Stem Elementary has an enrollment of 445 students, with a diverse student population that is 23.15% White, 27.42% African American, 42.7% Hispanic, and 6.74% two or more races. The school has a high free/reduced-price lunch rate of 82.92%, indicating a significant number of students from low-income families. The student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.
Academically, Butner-Stem Elementary's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are generally below the Granville County and North Carolina state averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. The school has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 831 out of 1,514 schools in 2021-2022 to 1,054 out of 1,502 schools in 2022-2023. These findings suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic needs of its student population.
