Summary:
The 28463 zip code area in North Carolina is home to two schools: South Columbus High School, the only high school in the area, and Tabor City School, an elementary/middle school serving grades PK-8. Both schools face significant challenges, with high percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and academic performance generally below state and district averages.
South Columbus High School has a relatively low statewide ranking, with end-of-course exam proficiency rates ranging from 32.9% to 46.2% across different subjects. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.7% is slightly below the state average. In contrast, Tabor City School has an even lower statewide ranking, with end-of-grade exam proficiency rates that vary widely, from as low as 23% in 3rd grade reading to as high as 63.5% in 3rd grade math.
Both schools serve a student population with a very high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the nearly universal free or reduced-price lunch rates of 99.42% and 99.5%, respectively. This suggests that the schools may face significant challenges in providing resources and support to their students. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios of 16.5 at South Columbus High School and 15.2 at Tabor City School indicate that the schools have the potential to provide more individualized attention, if other factors such as funding and resources are addressed.
