Best Public Schools in Zip Code 35184

Summary:

The 35184 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Bibb County school district. While the elementary school stands out as the strongest performer academically, the middle and high schools face some challenges that warrant closer examination.

West Blocton Elementary School appears to be the academic standout, with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments across 3rd and 4th grade math, science, and English language arts. The school is ranked 224th out of 684 elementary schools in the state and earns 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. In contrast, West Blocton High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years, dropping from 144th to 265th out of 378 high schools, with proficiency rates below county and state averages, particularly in math.

West Blocton Middle School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years, ranking in the middle of the pack for Alabama middle schools. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are mixed, with stronger performance in English language arts compared to math. The high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools suggest that the community faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and identifying ways to support student success.
