Best Public Schools in Zip Code 35810

Summary:

The 10 schools located in the 35810 zip code area of Huntsville, Alabama serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly minority student population, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The standout schools in this area are the Academy for Academics and Arts Middle School and the Academy for Science and Foreign Language Middle School, which consistently rank among the top middle schools in the state. These academically focused schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in math, science, and English compared to the other schools in the area, as well as more diverse student populations and lower free/reduced lunch rates.

In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the area generally struggle with math proficiency, scoring well below the state and Huntsville City district averages. The high school, Jemison High School, also lags behind in academic performance, with particularly low math proficiency. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may be contributing to these disparities in academic outcomes.
