Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36511

Summary:

The sole school in the 36511 zip code is Swift Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a diverse student population, it is underperforming academically compared to the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages, particularly in mathematics.

Swift Elementary School's mathematics and English language arts proficiency rates are significantly lower than the county and state, though its 4th-grade science proficiency is higher. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between the 400th and 495th out of 680-687 Alabama elementary schools in the past three years, and a 1-2 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is facing significant challenges that require a comprehensive improvement plan.

One potential bright spot is the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. However, the high percentage of students (91.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to its academic struggles. Addressing these socioeconomic factors will be crucial in developing effective strategies to improve student outcomes at Swift Elementary School.
