Summary:
The 28461 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Brunswick County Schools district. While the schools face significant challenges due to the high poverty levels in the area, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, some standout schools emerge from the data.
Southport Elementary is a top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of North Carolina elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are generally above the district and state averages. In contrast, South Brunswick Middle has maintained a 3-star rating and has performed well on state assessments, with several grade levels exceeding the district and state averages in mathematics and reading. However, South Brunswick High School has seen mixed results on end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 31.2% to 72.4% across different subject areas.
Despite the challenges faced by these schools, the data suggests that with targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the unique needs of the student population, there is potential for improvement. The high student-teacher ratios and relatively low spending per student indicate that the district may need to allocate additional resources to support these schools and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
