Best Public Schools in Zip Code 36268

Summary:

The 36268 zip code area is home to three schools - Munford Elementary School, Munford High School, and Munford Middle School - serving students from elementary through high school. These schools operate within the Talladega County district and have a mix of academic strengths and socioeconomic challenges.

Munford Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the Talladega County and Alabama state averages in key test score metrics like 4th grade science and English. In contrast, Munford High School and Munford Middle School have more mixed academic results, performing better than the county average in some areas but still facing challenges.

Across all three schools, the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 66.18% at the elementary school to 77.03% at the middle school, indicate a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This, coupled with the funding disparities, with Munford Middle School receiving the lowest per-student spending, suggests the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.
