Best Public Schools in Zip Code 35614


Summary:

The 35614 zip code area in Alabama is home to two schools: Alabama Connections Academy, an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12, and Piney Chapel Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5. While both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, they exhibit stark contrasts in their student populations and academic performance.

Alabama Connections Academy has a more diverse student body, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students compared to the traditional public school. However, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the Limestone County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Piney Chapel Elementary School generally outperforms the county and state benchmarks, particularly in English language arts, despite also serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The data suggests that the virtual, alternative school model may not be as effective in supporting student academic achievement as the traditional public school setting, at least for the students served by Alabama Connections Academy. This raises questions about the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and the resources available to support these students, as both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
