Summary:
The 27807 zip code area is home to two schools - Southern Nash High School and Bailey Elementary School, both part of the Nash County Public Schools district. While Bailey Elementary consistently ranks in the top 50% of North Carolina elementary schools, Southern Nash High struggles, ranking in the bottom half of high schools statewide.
Bailey Elementary stands out with its strong academic performance, often exceeding district and state averages on 3rd-5th grade math and reading assessments. The school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1. In contrast, Southern Nash High has mixed results on end-of-course assessments, with some subject areas meeting or exceeding district and state averages, while others lag behind. The school's graduation rate of 87.7% is slightly above the district average but below the state average.
Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with Bailey Elementary having an exceptionally high rate of 91.21% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and Southern Nash High at 57.32%. This suggests the district and schools may need to address socioeconomic challenges and provide additional support and resources to these students. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the two schools indicate a potential need for more equitable distribution of resources and staffing to support the needs of all students in the 27807 zip code area.
