Summary:
The 35470 zip code is home to a single high school, University Charter School Secondary, which serves students in grades 6-12. While the school's performance is mixed compared to state averages, it faces challenges related to its student population's socioeconomic status and attendance rates.
University Charter School Secondary holds a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 138 out of 374 Alabama high schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is uneven, with students underperforming the state average in mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, but outperforming the state in 11th-grade English proficiency. The school's science proficiency is also lower than the state average in 11th grade, but higher in 8th grade.
Demographic factors may play a role in the school's academic challenges, as University Charter School Secondary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (63.44%), indicating a relatively low-income student population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is a concern and may impact student performance. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that the school has the potential to improve and achieve greater academic success with the right interventions and support.
