Summary:
The two schools located in the 28392 zip code area, Tar Heel Middle School and Plain View Primary School, have consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in the state of North Carolina. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Tar Heel Middle School has a diverse student body, with roughly equal percentages of White, African American, and Hispanic students, while Plain View Primary has a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending at Plain View Primary, the academic outcomes at both schools remain poor, with significantly below-average proficiency rates in math and reading compared to state averages.
The data suggests that the schools in this area face systemic challenges, likely rooted in socioeconomic factors and resource allocation issues. However, these findings also highlight opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve educational outcomes for the students in this Bladen County Schools community.
