Summary:
The 35553 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - that serve the local community. While the schools face some socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, they have demonstrated strong academic performance in certain areas.
Winston County High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 65 out of 378 Alabama high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school outperforms the county and state averages in 11th grade English and 8th grade English. In contrast, Double Springs Middle School shines in 6th grade English, with 54.39% of students proficient or better, compared to 47.59% in the county and 53.32% statewide.
While the schools generally perform below the county and state averages in mathematics, they tend to excel in English/Language Arts, particularly in the upper grades. This suggests the schools may have effective teaching strategies or curriculum in this subject area. Despite the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, the schools are still able to achieve strong academic performance in certain areas, indicating they may have effective strategies for supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the lack of racial diversity in the student populations is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation by the Winston County district.
