Summary:
The two schools located in the 36323 zip code, Elba Elementary School and Elba High School, are both struggling academically, consistently ranking in the bottom half of their respective state rankings. The student population at these schools is predominantly from low-income households, with over 65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Elba Elementary School has a relatively balanced racial makeup, with 48.27% White and 44.8% African American students, but it is performing below the state average in most subject areas, with some exceptions in 4th-grade English and Science. Elba High School, on the other hand, is significantly underperforming the state average in most subject areas, particularly in Mathematics, where only 2.33% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better.
Despite the high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools in this Elba City district are facing significant challenges that are impacting the academic performance of their students. Further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the schools' underperformance, as well as targeted interventions and support, may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for the students in this area.
