The zip code 28461 is home to a single middle school, South Brunswick Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 591 students. The school's performance has been relatively consistent, ranking between 329-347 out of 784-793 North Carolina middle schools in recent years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
South Brunswick Middle School's test scores present a mixed picture, with 6th and 8th grade reading proficiency rates exceeding the Brunswick County Schools district and state averages, but 7th grade reading and math proficiency lagging behind. The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate was significantly higher than the district and state. However, the school faces significant challenges, with an extremely high free/reduced lunch rate of 99.32%, indicating a very low-income student population.
The high poverty levels and mixed academic performance at South Brunswick Middle School may be linked to staffing and resource challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.8 and spending per student of $9,300. To address these issues, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to meet the specific needs of its student population.
