Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36206

Summary:

The 36206 zip code area in Alabama is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While some schools in this area, such as Saks Elementary School, perform better than others on English language arts assessments, the overall academic performance across the schools is mixed, with significant disparities in mathematics and science proficiency.

Saks High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking 126 out of 378 Alabama high schools and performing relatively well on English language arts assessments. However, the school struggles with mathematics, with only 12.07% of 11th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 23.12%. In contrast, Anniston Middle School lags significantly behind the state averages in both mathematics and science assessments, as well as English language arts.

The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at all three schools, ranging from 77.06% at Saks High School to 91.09% at Anniston Middle School, suggest a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Additionally, the differences in spending per student, from $9,934 at Saks Elementary School to $13,119 at Anniston Middle School, may indicate unequal resource allocation within the Calhoun County and Anniston City school districts, which could contribute to the observed performance gaps.
