Summary:
The two schools located in the 36853 zip code area, Dadeville Elementary School and Dadeville High School, are both struggling academically, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Tallapoosa County and Alabama state averages. Both schools serve high-need student populations, with over 78% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Dadeville Elementary School is ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 2-star rating, while Dadeville High School is ranked in the bottom half of Alabama high schools with a 1-star rating. The schools' low academic performance and rankings suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
Despite similar per-student spending levels between the elementary and high school, the data indicates potential resource inequities, as high schools typically require more funding for specialized programs and facilities. Addressing the academic, socioeconomic, and resource challenges faced by these schools should be a priority for the district and community to ensure all students in the 36853 zip code area have access to a high-quality education.
