Summary:
The 27925 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Tyrrell County Schools district. While the schools share similar challenges, such as consistently low performance and high levels of economic disadvantage among their student populations, a few standout insights emerge from the data.
Tyrrell Elementary and Columbia Middle both struggle to meet state averages in core subjects like reading and math, with proficiency rates well below the state. However, Tyrrell Elementary shows relatively stronger performance in 3rd grade math and 4th grade reading compared to the district and state. In contrast, Columbia High stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, but its students perform poorly on end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates less than half the state averages in subjects like Biology, English II, and Math I.
Across the district, the schools in the 27925 zip code area are consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in North Carolina, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests a systemic issue within the district, where students are not receiving the same level of educational opportunities and resources as their peers across the state. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.74% to 98.45%, indicates that the schools are serving a population with significant economic challenges, which likely plays a role in their academic performance.
