Best Public Schools in Munford, AL

Summary:

The city of Munford, Alabama is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Munford Elementary School, Munford High School, and Munford Middle School. These schools operate within the Talladega County school district and serve a predominantly white student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.

Among the three schools, Munford Elementary School stands out as a relatively strong performer, ranking 249 out of 684 Alabama elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the county and state averages in several key test score metrics, including 4th grade science and English proficiency. In contrast, Munford High School and Munford Middle School have more mixed academic results, with some areas where they underperform the county and state averages.

Across all three schools, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 66.18% at Munford Elementary to 77.03% at Munford Middle, suggest significant economic challenges facing the Munford community. Additionally, the relatively high student-teacher ratios, especially at the elementary and middle school levels, may indicate potential staffing and resource constraints that could impact the quality of education.
