Summary:
The 35957 zip code area is home to three elementary schools: Boaz Elementary School, Corley Elementary School, and Boaz Intermediate School, all part of the Boaz City district.
Among these schools, Boaz Intermediate School stands out as a consistent top performer, ranking in the top 35% of Alabama elementary schools over the past 3 years and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4th and 5th-grade students outperform the state average in math, science, and English language arts, likely aided by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.7. Corley Elementary School also performs well, with 3rd-grade students scoring above the district and state averages in both math and English language arts, despite having a lower spending per student of $8,852.
While all three schools face higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates of 14.8%, the data suggests that the schools are effectively allocating their resources to support student learning. The schools with lower spending per student, such as Corley Elementary and Boaz Intermediate, are achieving comparable or better academic outcomes than the higher-spending Boaz Elementary School. Additionally, the schools with lower student-teacher ratios, like Corley Elementary and Boaz Intermediate, tend to have stronger academic performance, suggesting that smaller class sizes may be a contributing factor.
