Summary:
The 28753 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools (1 early college high school and 1 alternative high school). These schools serve a community with a high level of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.92% to 99.2%.
Among the schools in this area, Madison Early College High stands out as the top performer, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, strong test scores, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%. In contrast, Brush Creek Elementary has shown some areas of concern, with lower proficiency rates in 3rd-8th grade Math and Reading compared to state averages, and a decline in its state-wide ranking over the past few years.
The schools in the 28753 zip code area generally perform at or above the county and state averages in most subject areas, but the high concentration of high-poverty schools in this community suggests a need for additional resources and support to address the challenges faced by these economically disadvantaged students. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools is also an area worth exploring to understand how these resource differences may be impacting the schools' performance.
