Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36278

Summary:

The 36278 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Randolph County school district. While the schools generally underperform compared to state averages in mathematics, they show stronger academic performance in English Language Arts (ELA), particularly at Wedowee Elementary School and Wedowee Middle School.

The schools in this area serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 72.14% at Wedowee Elementary to 75% at Randolph County High School.

Wedowee Elementary and Wedowee Middle School stand out for their strong ELA proficiency rates, with Wedowee Middle School also performing slightly better than the state average in 4th-grade science. These schools could serve as models for the other schools in the area, and their best practices could be replicated to help improve overall academic outcomes for students in the 36278 zip code.
