Summary:
The 36460 zip code area in Alabama is home to three public schools: Monroeville Elementary School, Monroeville Middle School, and Monroe County High School. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state and county averages across key metrics like test scores and school rankings.
All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in subjects like math and reading compared to the Monroe County and Alabama state averages. For example, Monroeville Elementary's 3rd grade math proficiency was just 20.29% in 2023-2024, well below the state average of 42.16%. Similarly, Monroeville Middle School had only 1.12% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in math, and Monroe County High School's 11th grade math proficiency was just 9.72%, far behind the state average of 23.12%. These low test scores are reflected in the schools' poor statewide rankings, with all three earning 1- or 2-star ratings.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations, with free and reduced-price lunch eligibility ranging from 79.29% at Monroeville Elementary to 91.79% at Monroeville Middle School. While the schools' spending per student is above the state average, the consistently low academic performance suggests a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these high-poverty, low-performing schools.
