Summary:

The 27932 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (White Oak Elementary and D F Walker Elementary) and 1 high school (John A Holmes High) - all of which serve a predominantly low-income student population.

Among the standout schools, John A Holmes High has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 452nd out of 640 North Carolina high schools in 2023-2024 to 406th out of 641 in 2024-2025. However, the school's test scores remain below state averages, particularly in Math I and Math III. In contrast, D F Walker Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools and struggles with low proficiency rates in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade math.

Across all three schools, the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 99.21% to 99.49%, indicate a significant socioeconomic challenge. The schools also vary in their per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the differences in their academic performance. Overall, the data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the persistent academic challenges faced by the schools in this Edenton-Chowan Schools district.
