Summary:
The 36043 zip code has only one school, Pintlala Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with 126 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 109 out of 135 districts in Alabama and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Pintlala Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 518 and 627 over the past three school years. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics was 17.24% at Pintlala, compared to 28.05% in Montgomery County and 45.47% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the school's low spending per student and low ranking within the district may suggest that it faces challenges in terms of staffing, resources, and funding, which could be contributing to its academic performance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and community engagement.
