Summary:
The 36576 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Silverhill School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 481 students. Silverhill School is part of the Baldwin County school district, which is ranked 33 out of 135 districts in Alabama and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
While Silverhill School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5, its academic performance lags behind the Baldwin County district and Alabama state averages. The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are consistently lower than the district and state, with only 41.51% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 48.5% for Baldwin County and 45.47% for the state. Similarly, in 6th-grade ELA, only 50% of Silverhill School students were proficient or better, compared to 70.24% for Baldwin County and 56.81% for the state.
Another area of concern is the high percentage of students (74.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Silverhill School, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, combined with the relatively low spending per student ($10,025), suggests that the school may be facing resource constraints that could be contributing to its academic underperformance. Despite the smaller class sizes, the data suggests that Silverhill School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students and may require targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes.
