Best Public Schools in Zip Code 35091

Summary:

The 35091 zip code area is home to two highly-ranked schools, Mortimer Jordan High School and North Jefferson Middle School. Both schools have earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with Mortimer Jordan High School ranking 89th out of 378 Alabama high schools and North Jefferson Middle School ranking 100th out of 442 Alabama middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Academically, the schools stand out for their strong performance on Summative Assessments. Mortimer Jordan High School outperformed the Jefferson County and Alabama state averages in 11th-grade proficiency rates for Summative Assessment/Science, while North Jefferson Middle School significantly outperformed the county and state averages in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade proficiency rates for Summative Assessment/English. These academic achievements suggest a focus on excellence in core subject areas.

Despite their strong performance, the schools serve student populations that are predominantly White, with smaller percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, a significant portion of the students at both schools come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates. These demographic and socioeconomic factors may present unique challenges and opportunities for the schools to address equity and support the diverse needs of their student populations.
