Best Public Schools in Zip Code 35034

Summary:

The 35034 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Brent Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 591 students. While the school has adequate resources and staffing, its academic performance has been consistently below the Bibb County and Alabama state averages, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts lagging behind.

Brent Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (70.39%), indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuating statewide rankings, ranging from 468 out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 564 out of 684 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is also a concern, as it may contribute to the academic underperformance.

While Brent Elementary School appears to have adequate resources and staffing, the data suggests that these resources may not be effectively utilized to address the specific needs of the student population. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve the school's performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
