Summary:
The 36511 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Swift Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Baldwin County school district. While the district is ranked 33 out of 135 in Alabama and has a 4-star rating, Swift Elementary School appears to be underperforming compared to county and state averages.
Swift Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 25% of students were proficient or better, compared to 48.5% in Baldwin County and 45.47% statewide. Additionally, a high percentage of students (82.55%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages.
Despite the lower academic performance, Swift Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student ($17,030) compared to the national average. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.1, suggesting that students may have more individualized attention and support. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the available data. The consistently low test scores and high poverty levels at Swift Elementary School warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
