However, Eastover Elementary has the edge in 5th grade: 84.5% math versus 77.6%, 82.8% reading versus 73.8%, and a standout 94.8% science proficiency. Attendance is also a major differentiator.

Overall, families in zip code 28207 have access to two excellent elementary options with top-tier academics and strong attendance — but they will need to look outside the zip code for public middle and high schools.
