Summary:
The 36273 zip code area is home to two schools - Ranburne High School and Ranburne Elementary School, both part of the Cleburne County school district. While the elementary school maintains strong academic performance, the high school has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking and proficiency rates that are generally below county and state averages.
Ranburne High School has a relatively high student enrollment of 528 students, with a highly homogeneous population of 98.48% White students. The school's academic performance has been declining, with proficiency rates below the county and state averages in most subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Ranburne Elementary School, with a smaller enrollment of 375 students, has a similarly homogeneous student population (98.4% White) but maintains stronger academic performance, with proficiency rates above the county and state averages in several areas.
Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.49% at the high school and 58.93% at the elementary school). This suggests a need to understand the specific barriers and needs of the economically disadvantaged students in the community. Additionally, the difference in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools raises questions about the efficiency and equity of resource allocation within the district.
