Summary:

Zip code 35673 (Trinity, AL) is served by 7 schools across the Lawrence County and Morgan County districts, enrolling about 2,963 students from elementary through high school, with the two districts showing starkly different academic outcomes.

For parents, the standout choice is West Morgan Elementary School, which leads the area in 3rd grade math (62.62% proficient vs. 44.89% state average) and English (70.09% proficient). Its middle school counterpart, West Morgan Middle School, also outperforms local rivals—8th grade math proficiency is 30.97% compared to just 5.45% at East Lawrence Middle School, which shows a troubling decline from 23.36% in 5th grade to 5.45% by 8th grade. At the high school level, West Morgan High School is the turnaround story, with math proficiency jumping from 11.48% to 29.92% in one year and a 96.3% graduation rate, while East Lawrence High School posts lower scores (23.26% math) despite spending the most per student ($11,542). East Lawrence Elementary School struggles with the highest chronic absenteeism (17.8%) and lowest 4th grade math (12.15%), while Lawrence County Developmental serves just 21 students with specialized needs.

Key takeaways: Morgan County schools consistently outperform Lawrence County schools across grades and subjects, despite similar poverty levels (66-75% free/reduced lunch) and lower per-student spending. The spending paradox is clear—East Lawrence High spends the most but produces weak results, while West Morgan Middle spends the least ($5,994) and achieves better outcomes. Chronic absenteeism varies wildly within Lawrence County, from 2.0% at East Lawrence Middle to 17.8% at East Lawrence Elementary. Encouragingly, both comprehensive high schools exceed the state graduation rate (95-96% vs. 91.5%), and science scores are a relative strength, with West Morgan Middle hitting 56.64% in 8th grade science. However, English proficiency remains below state averages at both high schools, signaling room for continued improvement.
