Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36605


Summary:

The 10 schools in the 36605 zip code area of Mobile, Alabama serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. This high-poverty area faces significant educational challenges, with the majority of students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and struggling to meet proficiency standards on state assessments.

While a few standout schools like Hollingers Island Elementary School and Erwin Craighead Elementary School demonstrate stronger academic performance, with 30-65% of students proficient in math and English, the majority of schools in the area have only 10-25% of students meeting proficiency levels. This disparity in educational outcomes is closely tied to the demographics of the student population, with the highest-performing schools serving a larger proportion of white and more economically advantaged students.

Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, including very high free/reduced lunch rates (71.5% to 98%), low spending per student ($9,463 to $11,300), and student-teacher ratios that vary from 14.7 to 24.4. Targeted interventions and additional resources will be crucial to addressing these inequities and ensuring all students in the Mobile County school district have access to a high-quality education.
