ZIP code 36067 in Prattville, Alabama, is served by 7 schools within the Autauga County district, covering grades K-12 with a total enrollment of roughly 5,015 students.
For parents, the standout is Prattville High School, which ranks in the 79th percentile statewide and outperforms state averages in 11th-grade science (46.67% proficient vs. 36.17%) and English (41.93% vs. 33.73%), with a 90.2% graduation rate. The elementary pipeline is strong in English—Prattville Elementary School hits 65.17% proficiency in 4th grade and Prattville Intermediate School reaches 69.33% in 6th grade—but math scores lag notably, dropping from roughly 47% in early elementary to 28.81% by 11th grade. Prattville Junior High School shows a concerning ranking decline (82nd to 186th over three years) despite solid 8th-grade math (33.25% vs. 26.36% state) and low chronic absenteeism at 7.4%. The clear outlier is AVA Autauga Virtual Academy, which posts dramatically lower proficiency (5.26% in 11th-grade math) and the highest poverty rate (55.51% free/reduced lunch), despite zero chronic absenteeism—raising questions about virtual learning effectiveness.
Chronic absenteeism is a district strength, with all traditional schools below the 12% state average, though Prattville Kindergarten School has the highest rate (10.2%) and highest per-student spending ($9,643). Student-teacher ratios range from a favorable 13.6:1 at Prattville Primary School to 20.8:1 at the high school. The district overall earns a 3-star rating (54th percentile), reflecting strong high school performance but a pronounced middle-school slide and year-over-year volatility in test scores. Parents should weigh the excellent high school outcomes and low absenteeism against the math struggles and the virtual academy's significant achievement gap when choosing schools in this area.
