Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36375

Summary:

The 36375 zip code area is home to three schools - Slocomb Elementary School, Slocomb High School, and Slocomb Middle School - all part of the Geneva County school district. While Slocomb Middle School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, Slocomb High School has struggled, and Slocomb Elementary School falls somewhere in the middle.

Slocomb Middle School is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 48 middle schools in Alabama and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2022-2023. Its students excel in mathematics, science, and English, with a majority scoring proficient or better across all grade levels. In contrast, Slocomb High School has lagged behind, ranking in the bottom half of Alabama high schools and earning only a 3-star rating. Its test scores, particularly in mathematics and English, are below the state and county averages.

Slocomb Elementary School falls somewhere in the middle, ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Alabama and maintaining a 4-star rating. Its test scores are generally above the state and county averages, but not as strong as Slocomb Middle School. All three schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 68.67% to 69.74%. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the middle school and the other two schools may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation that could be further investigated.
