Summary:
The 28376 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the Hoke County Schools district. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, a few standout schools in the area are worth highlighting.
The highest-performing school in the area is SandHoke Early College High, which ranks 51 out of 626 high schools in North Carolina and earns a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school boasts exceptional test scores, with over 87% of students proficient or better in Biology, 91% in Math III, and 91% in English II. At the elementary level, Rockfish Hoke Elementary is the highest-ranked, ranking 435 out of 1,502 elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating, with strong test scores in 3rd grade Math, 4th grade Reading, and 5th grade Science.
While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, they also face significant economic challenges, with all schools having very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 95% to 100%. This suggests that addressing issues of poverty and disadvantage may be key to improving academic outcomes across the district. Additionally, the data shows that simply spending more money per student does not necessarily translate to better test scores, as the school with the highest spending per student, J.W. Turlington School, has the lowest test scores in the area.
