Summary:
The 36107 zip code area of Montgomery, Alabama is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage, a few schools stand out as particularly concerning.
Percy Julian High School and Capitol Heights Middle School rank among the lowest in the state, with proficiency rates well below the Montgomery County and Alabama averages. Similarly, Highland Avenue Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking among the elementary schools in the area, with test scores significantly below the county and state.
The schools in this zip code area serve a predominantly minority student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch program. While spending per student varies widely, from $8,471 to $39,568, the data suggests that the higher-spending schools are not effectively utilizing their resources to improve student outcomes. Addressing the systemic challenges facing these schools will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the 36107 community.
