Summary:
The 35671 zip code in Alabama is home to two schools: Tanner High School and Tanner Elementary School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with significant percentages of Hispanic, African American, and White students. However, both schools have consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the Limestone County and Alabama averages, suggesting they face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
Tanner High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 37.96% Hispanic, 23.36% African American, and 32.85% White students. However, only 2.04% of 11th graders were proficient or better in math in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 13.71% in Limestone County and 23.12% statewide. Tanner Elementary School also struggles academically, with only 15.25% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math in the 2023-2024 school year.
Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.91% of Tanner High School students and 72.67% of Tanner Elementary School students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively high, which may make it more difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students. These factors likely contribute to the low academic performance observed at the schools, and further investigation into the root causes of these challenges would be necessary to develop targeted interventions and support.
