Summary:
The 36271 zip code in Alabama is home to two schools: Ohatchee Elementary School and Ohatchee High School, both part of the Calhoun County school district. While Ohatchee High School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Alabama high schools, Ohatchee Elementary has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years.
Ohatchee High School outperforms the county and state averages in English language arts, with 40-64% of students proficient or better. However, the school lags behind in mathematics, with only 4-17% of students proficient or better. In contrast, Ohatchee Elementary performs better in mathematics, with 25-51% of students proficient or better. Both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.8% and significant percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, Ohatchee High School's strong performance in English language arts and its 90% four-year graduation rate are positive indicators. The schools' relatively low student-teacher ratios, around 15-18 students per teacher, suggest that class sizes are manageable. However, the performance gap between mathematics and English language arts at Ohatchee High School is an area of concern that requires further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
