Summary:
The 28384 zip code area has only one elementary school, Saint Pauls Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 714 students. The school is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County district, which is ranked 215 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Saint Pauls Elementary has consistently struggled with low academic performance, with proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade math and reading significantly below the county and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.2% of 4th grade students were proficient in math, compared to 39% for the county and 58.9% for the state. The school's per-student spending of $8,817 and student-teacher ratio of 17:1 suggest that it may be facing resource challenges that could be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education.
The data also indicates that Saint Pauls Elementary serves a highly disadvantaged student population, with 99.58% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high level of economic disadvantage among the student body is likely a significant factor in the school's academic struggles and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to address.
