Summary:
The schools in zip code 28372 serve a predominantly Native American student population, with 5 schools in the area including 3 elementary schools and 2 middle schools. While the traditional public schools in the area generally underperform state averages in academic proficiency, Old Main STREAM Academy, a public charter elementary school, stands out with strong test scores and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate compared to the other schools.
The CIS Academy, a public charter middle school, also performs well, ranking higher than the traditional middle schools in the area and having the highest proficiency rates in 8th grade math and science. However, all the schools in the area serve communities with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 62.83% to 99.57%.
Overall, the schools in this zip code area face systemic challenges, with the traditional public schools consistently underperforming state averages. The charter schools, Old Main STREAM Academy and CIS Academy, appear to be offering alternative educational options that are outperforming the traditional public schools. However, further analysis would be needed to understand the factors driving their relative success and how to replicate those strategies across all schools in the Public Schools of Robeson County and Old Main Stream and CIS Academy districts.
