Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36081


Summary:

The 36081 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Troy Elementary School, Charles Henderson High School, and Charles Henderson Middle School. While Troy Elementary stands out with relatively strong academic performance, the other two schools have room for improvement, particularly in addressing socioeconomic and racial disparities that may be impacting student outcomes.

Troy Elementary School boasts high math and English language arts (ELA) proficiency rates compared to the state average, especially in 3rd and 4th grades. However, the school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a need for further progress. In contrast, Charles Henderson High School and Charles Henderson Middle School have lower proficiency rates in math, ELA, and science compared to state averages, with the high school's performance particularly concerning. While Charles Henderson Middle School has shown progress, improving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating, Charles Henderson High School has had fluctuating ratings, ranging from 2 to 3 stars.

Across all three schools, the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 55.92% to 68.02%, suggest a significant economically disadvantaged student population, which may impact academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools have a majority African American student population, with a significant White student presence at the elementary and high school levels. Ensuring equitable educational opportunities and addressing any potential achievement gaps among different racial groups could be an area of focus for the Troy City school district.
