Summary:
The 32445 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Malone School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 582 students. As an alternative school, Malone has a diverse student population and serves a unique set of learners, with 53.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Malone School's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 84% proficiency in Civics EOC and 74% proficiency in 9th grade ELA, but also areas of weakness, particularly in Math and 5th and 8th grade Science. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.4% may be contributing to its lower overall academic performance. However, Malone's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1 suggests the potential for more individualized attention and support to help address these challenges.
As the only school in the 32445 zip code, Malone School plays a critical role in the local community. The school's diverse student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students indicate the need for targeted support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. By closely examining Malone's performance metrics, demographics, and resource allocation, the Jackson school district can develop strategies to support this alternative school setting and address the specific needs of its students.
