Summary:
The 28515 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Pamlico County Schools district. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with all schools having an extremely high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 97.8% to 99.14%.
Among the standout schools in the area, Pamlico County High School ranks 216 out of 641 North Carolina high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.7% and outperforms the state average in several End-of-Course (EOC) test scores, including Biology, English II, and Math III. In contrast, Pamlico County Primary School performs well on 3rd-grade End-of-Grade (EOG) tests, with 70% proficiency in Mathematics and 47.1% in Reading, both exceeding the state averages.
The data also reveals disparities in per-student spending across the schools, with Pamlico County Middle School having the highest at $19,561 for the 2018-2019 school year, while Fred A. Anderson Elementary has the lowest at $12,115. This suggests that resource allocation may not be equitable, and understanding the factors behind these disparities could help inform more effective distribution of funds and support to address the unique needs of each school and student population.
