Andalusia High School

Andalusia High School serves grades 9 through 12 in the small town of Andalusia, the county seat of Covington County in southern Alabama. With an enrollment of 509 students and 32 full-time teachers, the school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1, meaning students have reasonable access to their instructors in a setting that avoids the anonymity of larger suburban schools. Academically, Andalusia High earns a MySchoolScout rating of 6.2 out of 10 and ranks 746th out of 1,330 Alabama schools, placing it in the 44th percentile statewide.

Current proficiency rates sit at 35% in ELA and 32% in math, reflecting meaningful room for academic growth — particularly in core subjects. Families considering the school should weigh these figures while also recognizing the broader context of a community where the poverty rate reaches 19.1% and roughly a quarter of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The surrounding 36420 ZIP code has a median household income of approximately $50,000 and a median home value of around $164,000, giving a sense of a modest, working-class community.

Andalusia itself is a remote town, offering a quieter pace of life where the high school often serves as a central gathering point for local students and families alike.
