Summary:
The 37887 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a career and technical center). While the schools in this area face some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, there are also some standout performers that are worth highlighting.
Central Middle School appears to be the highest performing school in the area, with stronger test scores across subjects compared to the Morgan County district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 29% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 27.3% for the district and 42.2% statewide. The school also had relatively strong performance in English Language Arts and Science. Meanwhile, Central High School has a 89.2% 4-year graduation rate and a 6.7% dropout rate, both of which are better than the state averages.
The Morgan County Career and Technical Center stands out for its impressive 89.2% 4-year graduation rate and extremely low student-teacher ratio of 2.7, suggesting a very personalized learning environment. However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps across the schools, with test scores generally below state averages. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 18.9% across all schools, will be crucial for improving academic outcomes in this area.
