Summary:
The 36041 zip code area is home to a single public school, Highland Home School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 839 students. The student body is predominantly White (69.61%), with significant populations of African American (23%) and Hispanic (5.96%) students.
While Highland Home School performs better in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 40.91% in 7th grade to 72.73% in 3rd grade, its performance on standardized tests in Mathematics and Science is generally below the Crenshaw County and Alabama state averages. For example, in 11th grade Mathematics, only 18.87% of students at Highland Home School were proficient or better, compared to 16.03% in Crenshaw County and 23.12% statewide.
The school's high percentage of students (65.91%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, along with its lower per-student spending compared to the state average, suggest that Highland Home School serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to its academic performance challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is slightly higher than the recommended range, and addressing this, along with targeted interventions in Mathematics and Science, could be crucial in improving the overall educational outcomes for the students.
