Summary:
The 36276 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Wadley High School, which serves grades PK-12 and has a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the Randolph County school district, which is ranked 74th out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wadley High School stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with a mix of 70.53% White, 15.94% African American, 8.21% Hispanic, 1.21% Asian, and 0.72% Native American students. However, the school's test scores are mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the county and state averages, while others, such as the 8th grade math proficiency rate of 0%, are significantly lower. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (67.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite these challenges, Wadley High School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,992, which is higher than the national average but lower than the state average for Alabama. The school also has a student-teacher ratio of 17.2, which is slightly higher than the national average but lower than the state average. These metrics suggest that the school may be struggling to consistently deliver high-quality instruction and support for all students, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
