Summary:
The 36278 zip code area in Randolph County, Alabama is home to three public schools: Randolph County High School, Wedowee Elementary School, and Wedowee Middle School. These schools, which serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade, are all part of the Randolph County school district.
Based on the available data, none of the schools in the 36278 zip code area appear to be standout performers. All three schools have relatively low proficiency rates in core subjects like math and science, with only 16.42% of 11th graders at Randolph County High School proficient or better in math and 28.36% proficient or better in science. Wedowee Elementary and Wedowee Middle School also have below-average proficiency rates compared to the state. Additionally, Randolph County High School has a slightly lower four-year graduation rate of 90% and a higher dropout rate of 7.8% compared to the state average.
One consistent factor across all three schools is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72% to 74.78%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the schools' funding and resources appear to be generally in line with state averages, the combination of academic underperformance and high economic disadvantage suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the students and schools in this community.
