Summary:
The 28345 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Richmond County Schools district. While the standout school in this area is the Richmond Early College High, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, the other schools in the data set appear to be struggling, particularly the elementary schools.
The Richmond Early College High is a shining example, with a statewide rank of 28 out of 641 high schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 100% proficiency in several subject areas. In contrast, the Fairview Heights Elementary and Monroe Avenue Elementary have low test scores, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in many subject areas.
The data also reveals that all the schools in the 28345 zip code area have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.59% at Fairview Heights Elementary to 99.39% at Richmond 9th Grade Academy, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community. This likely contributes to the challenges these schools face in improving student achievement.
