Summary:
The 35004 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this area demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Moody Elementary School standing out as the top performer.
Moody Elementary School outperforms the St. Clair County and Alabama state averages in 3rd-grade English and Math test scores, and it spends the most per student at $9,570. In contrast, the middle and high schools struggle more with Math performance, an area that may require targeted interventions. Moody High School ranks 84th out of 378 Alabama high schools and outperforms the county and state in 11th-grade Science, but it has a lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to the other schools.
Across all the schools, the high percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch, ranging from 50.36% to 60.69%, suggests that the local community faces economic challenges, which may impact the schools' resources and the support available for students. The variation in student-teacher ratios, with Moody Elementary School having the lowest ratio, could also be a contributing factor to the stronger performance at the elementary school level.
