Summary:

The 35470 zip code area in Alabama is home to three elementary schools: Livingston Junior High School, University Charter School Elementary, and York West End Junior High School. Based on the available data, University Charter School Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area.

University Charter School Elementary is ranked in the top 40% of Alabama elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, outperforming the other two schools on most academic measures. The school's 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts are often 10-20 percentage points above the state averages. In contrast, Livingston Junior High School and York West End Junior High School lag significantly behind, with many grades posting single-digit proficiency rates, well below state and Sumter County district averages.

The high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 15% at all three schools, are a concern and likely contributing to the low proficiency levels, especially at Livingston Junior High School and York West End Junior High School. Additionally, the very high free/reduced lunch rates at these two traditional public schools, over 90%, indicate they serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, which may present additional challenges.
