Summary:
The 36075 zip code has only one school, DC Wolfe School, an elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 125 students. The school is part of the Macon County school district.
DC Wolfe School has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools in recent years and earning a 1-star rating out of 5 on SchoolDigger.com. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics are significantly lower than the Macon County and Alabama state averages, while its English/Language Arts and science proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades performing better than the county and state, and others performing worse. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which could be a strength that the school can leverage to provide more personalized instruction and support for its students. However, the school's high percentage of students (94.4%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, and its higher-than-average per-student spending suggest that the school is facing significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to its academic struggles.
