Summary:
The sole school in the 36069 zip code, DunbarRamer School, is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 62 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 109 out of 134 districts in Alabama and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,584, DunbarRamer School has consistently ranked near the bottom of Alabama elementary schools in recent years, ranking 692 out of 692 in 2020-2021 and 666 out of 681 in 2018-2019. The school's academic performance is also very low, with 0% proficiency in Math for 7th and 8th grades, and only 8.33% proficiency in 8th grade Science. Additionally, a high percentage (88.71%) of students at DunbarRamer School qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The consistently low performance of DunbarRamer School, coupled with the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, raises concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities in the broader Montgomery County school district. Addressing these challenges will require a multifaceted approach that considers the school's resource allocation, teaching quality, and the broader socioeconomic and demographic factors impacting the student population.
