Summary:
The 35904 zip code area in Alabama is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, which are part of the Gadsden City and Etowah County school districts. While the districts are ranked 95 and 62 out of 137 in the state, respectively, and are rated 2 and 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, one school in the area stands out for its strong academic performance.
Highland Elementary School, part of the Etowah County district, has the highest overall performance, with higher test scores across multiple grade levels compared to the state and district averages. It also has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (69.33%) compared to the other elementary schools in the area. In contrast, the schools in the Gadsden City district generally perform below the state average in math, science, and English language arts across multiple grade levels, and have high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 76.1% at Gadsden City High School to 90.73% at Walnut Park Elementary School.
The data also reveals that Gadsden City High School stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, which is not as evident in the other schools in the area. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes across the schools in the 35904 zip code.
