Summary:
The 35077 zip code area in Alabama is home to three schools - Hanceville Elementary School, Hanceville High School, and Hanceville Middle School, all part of the Cullman County school district. While Hanceville High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, the elementary and middle schools in the area face challenges in certain academic areas.
Hanceville High School ranks in the top third of Alabama high schools, maintaining a strong 90% four-year graduation rate and performing well on state assessments, with 11th-grade math and science proficiency rates close to or above the county and state averages. In contrast, Hanceville Elementary School struggles with math proficiency, with 3rd-grade math scores well below the county and state averages. Hanceville Middle School also lags behind the county and state in math and science proficiency, particularly in 6th and 8th grades.
All three schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.85% at Hanceville High School to 78.26% at Hanceville Elementary School, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, all three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, which is quite high and may be an area of concern. The data also reveals a potential disconnect or lack of alignment in the educational pipeline, as the elementary and middle schools struggle while the high school performs relatively well.
