Summary:
The 28166 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a wide range in school performance, with Troutman Elementary and Iredell Charter Academy of Arts & Science performing significantly better than Troutman Middle and Career Academy and Technical School.
Troutman Elementary stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top half of North Carolina elementary schools and exceeding district and state averages in math and reading proficiency. In contrast, Troutman Middle and Career Academy and Technical School tend to lag behind on end-of-course exams. The data also reveals stark differences in student demographics, with Troutman Elementary and Troutman Middle serving predominantly low-income populations, as indicated by their very high free/reduced lunch rates over 99%. Career Academy and Technical School, on the other hand, has a much lower free/reduced lunch rate of 18.8%.
Interestingly, the small school size of Career Academy and Technical School, with a student-teacher ratio of just 7.6, may contribute to its stronger performance, particularly on end-of-course exams. Overall, the data suggests that while there are some standout schools in the 28166 zip code area, there are also significant disparities in educational opportunities and resources, which may require further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in this community.
