Summary:
The 28901 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Cherokee County Schools district. While the schools face challenges, such as high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations, there are also some bright spots worth highlighting.
Andrews Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in most grade-level exams. In contrast, Andrews Middle School performs better, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state averages in math and reading. At the high school level, Andrews High School has mixed results, with some End-of-Course exams above the district and state averages and others below, but it maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%.
One area of concern is the steady decline in Andrews Middle School's statewide ranking, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in 2024-2025. However, the school still performs relatively well compared to the district and state averages in 8th grade science proficiency. Overall, the data suggests significant disparities in academic achievement across the schools, which may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these institutions and their students.
