Summary:
Zip code 28114, in the Mooresboro area of North Carolina, contains just one school: Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy, a K-12 alternative school with an enrollment of 1,330 and a student-teacher ratio of 21.4. The school belongs to the Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy district, which operates as a single-school district. Because there is only one school in the zip code, there are no local comparisons to make; instead, the most meaningful comparisons are to North Carolina state averages and to the school's own year-over-year results.
Since 2024-2025, Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy has scored above the state average on 17 of 18 reported test results each year. In 2025-2026, average math EOG proficiency for grades 3-8 was 80.7% versus 59.9% statewide, while reading EOG proficiency reached 78.0% versus 56.0% statewide. Science EOG results were especially strong at 93.8% average proficiency compared to 68.2% for the state. End-of-course exams also exceeded state averages: 85.3% proficient in Biology, 83.3% in English II, and 76.2% in Math III, compared with state rates of 58.5%, 64.6%, and 68.9%, respectively.
The main exception to this strong performance is Math I EOC proficiency, which was only 16.7% in 2025-2026 and 13.6% in 2024-2025, far below state averages of 42.1% and 34.4%. This is striking because middle-grades math and Math III results are well above average, suggesting the issue is linked to the Math I course or its testing population rather than an overall math weakness. The school also reports a 94.5% graduation rate and a 12.8% chronic absenteeism rate, roughly half the state rate of 24.2%. Other year-over-year changes include a 16.8-point gain in Biology and a 12.3-point drop in Math III.
