Summary:
The 36104 zip code in Alabama contains only one elementary school, Nixon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 445 students. This public charter school is struggling academically, ranking 657 out of 680 elementary schools in Alabama and earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Nixon Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Alabama elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with student proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency at Nixon is 18.57% compared to 28.05% in Montgomery County and 45.47% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, which likely contributes to its poor academic performance.
Despite the school's struggles, its per-student spending of $12,030 is higher than the state average. This suggests that funding alone is not the sole driver of the school's performance, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help improve outcomes for Nixon Elementary School and its high-poverty student population, with 93.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
