Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the 28205 zip code - Eastway Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

Eastway Middle School is a struggling school that consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages. The school's test scores are significantly below the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and North Carolina state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.3% of 6th graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to 52.7% for the district and 52.3% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools for the past three school years.

Eastway Middle School also faces challenges related to its high poverty concentration, with 99.63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's relatively low spending per student ($9,703 in 2018-2019) and high student-teacher ratio (14.7 to 1 in 2023-2024) may be contributing factors to its poor academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that Eastway Middle School is a struggling school that is in need of targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes.
