Summary:
The 36853 zip code area is home to two schools - Dadeville Elementary School and Dadeville High School, both part of the Tallapoosa County school district. These schools have consistently struggled with low academic performance, with Dadeville Elementary earning 2-star ratings and Dadeville High earning 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past few years.
Dadeville Elementary School faces significant challenges, with low proficiency rates in math and science that are well below state and county averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, which is a concern. Dadeville High School also performs below state and county averages, particularly in math, where only 10.71% of 11th graders are proficient or better, compared to 23.71% statewide. Both schools serve a high-need student population, with around 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the challenges, the schools in this area have similar per-student spending to the state average, around $10,300. However, the consistently low academic performance suggests potential issues with resource allocation and utilization within these schools. Addressing the systemic issues at both the school and district levels will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for students in this area.
