About Montgomery County School District
Zip code 36109 in Montgomery, Alabama is served by Montgomery County School District for public school enrollment. The district covers grades K–12. This page provides a data-driven overview of Montgomery County School District’s funding levels, size, rating, and what families should know before enrolling or making a housing decision in this area.
Understanding the 2/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Montgomery County School District 2 out of 10 — low-rated among Alabama public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Alabama is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Montgomery County School District holds a low overall rating, with reading and math proficiency among the lowest in Alabama on state assessments. Test results reflect many factors beyond the classroom, including community and economic conditions; a low score is a signal to research carefully, not a verdict on any individual school or teacher. Families in this area should research all available alternatives: inter-district transfers, charter schools, and magnet programs. Contact the district directly to understand exactly what programs are available at your assigned school.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 36109
Children in zip code 36109 are assigned to Montgomery County School District for public school enrollment, covering grades K–12.

Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact Montgomery County School District at the number listed on the district website or visit the district’s official website. Typical enrollment documents include a signed lease or mortgage statement, birth certificate, state-required immunization documentation, and recent report cards or transcripts.

Fall enrollment windows typically open in late winter or early spring; contact the district for exact dates and required steps.
