Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36748

Summary:

The 36748 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Linden City school district. Unfortunately, these schools are performing significantly below state averages, with low test scores, high poverty rates, and limited resources despite relatively small class sizes.

None of the schools in the 36748 area stand out as high-performing. Linden Elementary School, Linden High School, and George P. Austin Junior High School all have proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts that are well below the Linden City and Alabama state averages. This is concerning, as the schools serve a student population that is over 93% African American and have free/reduced lunch rates above 79%.

Despite relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 11:1 to 14:1, the schools are not seeing strong academic outcomes. Spending per student is also higher than the state average, yet the data suggests inefficient use of resources or other systemic issues that are preventing these schools from providing a quality education to their students. Comprehensive interventions and support will be crucial to improve educational opportunities and outcomes in this community.
