Summary:
The two elementary schools located in the 27809 zip code area, M B Hubbard Elementary and Coker-Wimberly Elementary, are both struggling to provide quality education to their predominantly low-income and minority student populations. These schools, which serve students in the Nash County Public Schools and Edgecombe County Public Schools districts, have consistently performed well below state averages in key academic metrics, including mathematics, reading, and science proficiency.
Both M B Hubbard Elementary and Coker-Wimberly Elementary have very high free/reduced lunch rates, exceeding 85%, indicating that they serve predominantly low-income student populations. Despite the relatively high spending per student at these schools, they continue to struggle to effectively allocate resources to improve student outcomes. The student demographics at these schools are majority African American and Hispanic, highlighting potential equity issues and the need to address achievement gaps for these student groups.
The data suggests that the two elementary schools in the 27809 zip code area have been ranked in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools for the past three school years, indicating a persistent pattern of underperformance. Addressing the root causes of the schools' underperformance, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, will be crucial to improving student outcomes in these communities and providing the quality education that all students deserve.
