Summary:
In ZIP code 27843, there is only one school: Hobgood Charter School, an alternative K-12 school in Hobgood, NC, serving 569 students with a 13.1 student-teacher ratio. Because this school also operates as its own Hobgood Charter School district, there are no nearby schools to compare it to, so the most useful benchmark is the North Carolina state average.
Overall, Hobgood Charter School posts a mixed academic profile. Its subject averages trail the state in most areas—about 53.8% proficiency across all tests versus 59.2% statewide—but there are clear bright spots. The graduation rate is strong at 94.7%, chronic absenteeism (22.7%) is slightly better than the state average (24.2%), and advanced math results stand out: Math I EOC proficiency (52.9%) beats the state by nearly 11 points, while Math III EOC (70.3%) is also above average. Elementary science is another strength, with 5th-grade science proficiency at 72.0% compared to 67.7% statewide.
The most visible concern is middle school reading. Reading proficiency in 6th grade (40.0%), 7th grade (41.3%), and 8th grade (38.5%) all fall roughly 15 to 18 points behind state averages. Science results diverge by grade level, as 8th-grade science (56.4%) sits well below the state mark of 68.6%, while 5th-grade science is above average. Large year-over-year swings, such as 8th-grade reading dropping from 54.3% to 38.5% or Math I EOC jumping from 35.1% to 52.9%, likely reflect small grade-level cohorts. Parents should see a school with strong high school outcomes and advanced math success, but one where reading support in grades 6 through 8 deserves close attention.
