Grove Hill Elementary School stands out as a bright spot, with relatively strong performance, ranking in the top half of Alabama elementary schools.

The schools in the 36451 zip code face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.93% to 78.4%.

However, there are some bright spots, such as Wilson Hall Middle School's stronger 8th-grade science proficiency rates and Grove Hill Elementary's performance in English language arts. Leveraging these successes and addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors could be key to driving continuous improvement across the district.
