Summary:
The 35019 zip code in Alabama is home to a single public elementary school, Parkside Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Cullman County school district, which is ranked 52 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Parkside Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts, but also faces challenges, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are lower than the district and state averages, especially in the upper grades. The school serves a relatively high-poverty student population, with 71.72% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending is above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the recommended range, its statewide ranking has declined slightly over the past three school years, despite maintaining a 3-star rating.
Overall, Parkside Elementary School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the Cullman County district, with room for improvement in Mathematics instruction and support for its high-poverty student population. Addressing these areas of concern could be key to driving long-term improvements in student outcomes and reversing the school's declining performance trend.
