Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36769

Summary:

The 36769 zip code in Alabama is home to a single public elementary school, F S Ervin Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 191 students. The school is part of the Wilcox County school district, which is ranked 125 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

F S Ervin Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American student population (97.91%) and a high percentage of students (80.1%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance has consistently been well below state and county averages, with low proficiency rates in math and English language arts across all grade levels. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 1, the school's per-student spending of $13,046 for the 2018-2019 school year may not be sufficient to address the needs of the student population.

The persistent academic underperformance of F S Ervin Elementary School, coupled with the socioeconomic challenges faced by its students, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes. Addressing these challenges may require a comprehensive, district-level approach to improving the quality of education in the Wilcox County school district, which currently ranks among the lowest in the state.
