Summary:

Zip code 28312 is home to a single public middle school, Mac Williams Middle, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Cumberland County Schools district. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, its academic performance is generally below the state average in math and reading, with the exception of 8th grade science proficiency.

Mac Williams Middle has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of over 57%, indicating that it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. The school's per-student spending was $8,092 in the 2018-2019 school year, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 19.7 for the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's overall performance is below the state average, it does show some strengths, such as its 8th grade science proficiency being on par with the state.

Potential areas for improvement at Mac Williams Middle include focusing on math instruction and support, as well as targeted interventions in reading for the lower grade levels. The school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests a level of stability, but its relative ranking within the state has fluctuated, indicating that its performance may be changing compared to other middle schools in North Carolina.
