Summary:
The 27822 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Coopers Elementary and Gardners Elementary) and 1 middle school (Elm City Middle). These schools serve students across the Nash County Public Schools and Wilson County Schools districts.
Among the standout schools in the area, Coopers Elementary consistently ranks in the top 40% of North Carolina elementary schools, outperforming district and state averages in math and reading proficiency. Elm City Middle also stands out, ranking in the top 20-25% of North Carolina middle schools and exceeding district and state performance in core subjects. While Gardners Elementary performs well academically, it serves a high-poverty student population, as indicated by its very high free/reduced lunch rate.
The data reveals a mix of high-performing and high-need schools within the 27822 zip code, highlighting the importance of considering individual school data rather than making assumptions based on the broader geographic area. The stark differences in free/reduced lunch rates between the schools suggest potential equity concerns that may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the area.
