Summary:
The 35128 zip code area of Pell City, Alabama is home to two schools - Williams Intermediate School, a middle school serving grades 5-6, and Walter M Kennedy School, an elementary school serving grades K-4. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of White students and a significant African American minority, and face the challenge of supporting economically disadvantaged communities with high free/reduced lunch rates.
Williams Intermediate School is a relatively large middle school with 632 students, while Walter M Kennedy School is a smaller elementary school with 454 students. Both schools have test scores that are generally below the Pell City district and Alabama state averages, particularly in mathematics. However, Walter M Kennedy School performs slightly better on academic measures, potentially due to its lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to Williams Intermediate School.
Overall, the schools in the 35128 zip code area face the challenge of supporting economically disadvantaged student populations and improving academic performance, particularly in mathematics. Continued investment and targeted interventions may be necessary to help these schools better serve their communities and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
