Summary:
The 35221 zip code area in Alabama is home to 3 schools - 1 middle school and 2 high schools, all of which appear to be underperforming compared to state and district averages. Wenonah High School and Midfield High School are ranked in the bottom 10% of Alabama high schools, with very low proficiency rates in core subjects and high chronic absenteeism. The schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged populations, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 84.9% to 92.62%.
While the available graduation rate data shows a 90% four-year graduation rate for both Wenonah High School and Midfield High School, which is slightly below the state average, the dropout rate for Wenonah High School was 6% in the 2018-2019 school year. Per-student spending at these schools is slightly below the state average, and student-teacher ratios are relatively high, ranging from 17.7 to 20.3 students per teacher.
The consistently low performance across the schools in the 35221 zip code area suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in this community. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools, as well as exploring ways to increase funding and optimize resource allocation, could be important steps in helping these students succeed.
