Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36275


Summary:

The 36275 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Spring Garden High School, which serves grades PK-12 and has a total enrollment of 561 students. The school is part of the Cherokee County school district, which is ranked 69th out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Garden High School's student population is predominantly White (94.12%), with small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Cherokee County district and the state of Alabama across various grade levels and subject areas, such as 11th grade Mathematics where the school had 10.26% proficiency compared to 22.53% in the district and 23.12% in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (65.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($11,027) and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (16.8) than the typical recommended ratio of 15:1, Spring Garden High School's academic performance remains a concern. As an alternative school, it may serve a unique population of students with specialized needs or circumstances, which could contribute to the lower academic outcomes observed. Further investigation into the specific factors influencing the school's performance would be necessary to develop targeted interventions and support for the students and the school community.
