Best Public Schools in Zip Code 35769


Summary:

The 35769 zip code area is home to two schools - Scottsboro High School and Thurston T Nelson Elementary School, both part of the Scottsboro City district. While Thurston T Nelson Elementary has consistently maintained a high ranking and rating, Scottsboro High School has experienced a decline in its statewide performance over the past few years.

Thurston T Nelson Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 49th out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in 2017-2018 and maintaining a 4-star rating in the following two years. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and higher spending per student of $12,787 may contribute to its success. In contrast, Scottsboro High School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 73rd out of 371 Alabama high schools in 2020-2021 to 155th out of 371 in 2022-2023, with test scores in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English falling below the state averages.

Both schools serve a student population with similar racial demographics, with a majority of White students and smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and other racial groups. Additionally, both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a significant population of students from lower-income households. This socioeconomic factor may be an important consideration when analyzing the schools' performance and resource allocation.
