Summary:
The 35178 zip code area is home to two schools - Vincent Middle High School and Vincent Elementary School, both of which serve a student population with a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a relatively low-income community. While the middle/high school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90%, the academic performance of both schools, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the Shelby County and Alabama state averages across various grade levels and subjects.
Vincent Middle High School is the only high school in the 35178 zip code area, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%. In contrast, Vincent Elementary School, the only elementary school in the area, has a similar chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%. Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, with 66.52% at the middle/high school and 70.08% at the elementary school.
The spending per student is higher at the middle/high school ($14,092) compared to the elementary school ($12,873), and the student-teacher ratio is lower at the middle/high school (11.7) than at the elementary school (16.1). These differences in resource allocation and class sizes may be areas for further investigation to understand their impact on educational outcomes for the local community.
