Summary:
The 35470 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, with a mix of public and public charter school types. The standout school in this area appears to be University Charter School, which has a higher district ranking and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school serves a more diverse student population and outperforms the other schools and the state averages on most academic measures, such as proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts.
In contrast, the other schools in the area, particularly Livingston Junior High School and York West End Junior High School, have lower performance metrics and rankings. These schools serve student populations that are predominantly African American (over 98%) and have much higher free/reduced lunch rates (around 90%), indicating they serve economically disadvantaged communities.
The data highlights a significant disparity in academic performance between the University Charter School and the other public schools in the area, suggesting that the charter school model may be providing a more effective educational experience for its students. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools also suggests that resource allocation and staffing levels may play a role in the observed performance differences.
