Talladega High School also stands out, with the highest graduation rate (90%) among the schools in the data set and lower dropout rates compared to the other high school, Talladega County Central High.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools in the 35160 zip code area. While some schools, like Stemley Road Elementary, perform above state averages, others, such as Talladega High School, struggle to meet proficiency targets in math and science. These differences may be linked to the varying levels of spending per student, which range from $8,799 at Evelyn D. Houston Elementary to $18,735 at Talladega County Central High. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be crucial in supporting student success across all the schools in the Talladega City and Talladega County districts.
