The 35150 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, spread across the Sylacauga City and Talladega County school districts. While the schools serve a diverse student population, the data reveals a significant disparity in their performance, with Sylacauga High School and NicholsLawson Middle School standing out as the top-performing institutions in the area.
Sylacauga High School, with the highest student enrollment of 677, is ranked among the top 30% of high schools in Alabama and boasts above-average test scores in several subjects. In contrast, the BB Comer Memorial High School and BB Comer Memorial Elementary School struggle to meet state benchmarks, particularly in mathematics, despite their high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the area.
The data also reveals that while some schools, like BB Comer Memorial Elementary, perform better in certain subject areas, such as English language arts, the overall disparities in performance suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the 35150 zip code area.
