Summary:
The 35548 zip code area has only one school, Brilliant School, an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with 255 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.9, its academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the Marion County district and Alabama state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Brilliant School's strongest performance was in 4th grade English, where 61.11% of students were proficient, compared to 71.81% for the county and 58% for the state. However, in 11th grade Mathematics, the school had a 7.69% proficiency rate, significantly lower than the 11.55% for the county and 23.12% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (77.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The combination of low academic performance, high poverty concentration, and potentially favorable resource allocation (as suggested by the low student-teacher ratio) suggests that Brilliant School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.
