Summary:

The 28580 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. This data set highlights the significant challenges faced by the Greene County Schools district, with most schools performing well below state averages on standardized tests.

The standout school in this data set is Greene Early College High, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state. This school has a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, a 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%, and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across all End of Course (EOC) exams. In contrast, the other schools in the data set generally perform below state averages on standardized tests and have very high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch (over 99% at most schools).

The data also reveals a wide range in per-student spending, from $8,407 at Greene County Middle to $14,827 at Snow Hill Primary. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios, while within typical ranges, are still quite high (11.0 to 15.8). These factors, combined with the high-poverty demographics of the area, present significant challenges for the school district in supporting student success.
