Summary:
The schools in zip code 39846 include 4 institutions: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative public charter school. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between Pataula Charter Academy, which outperforms the other schools, and the traditional public schools in the Calhoun County district, which struggle academically.
Pataula Charter Academy, an alternative public charter school, stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% and generally higher test scores compared to the state averages and the other schools in the zip code. It also has a lower student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the traditional public schools in the area.
In contrast, the Calhoun County schools, which include the elementary, middle, and high schools, have very low proficiency rates, often less than half the state average. These schools also have 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, indicating a high-poverty student population. The Calhoun County district as a whole is ranked very low in the state, at 198 out of 203 districts, reflecting the poor performance of the individual schools.
