Andalusia High School stands out for its racial diversity, with a student body that is 62.58% White, 31.99% African American, 2.01% Hispanic, and 1.01% Asian, in contrast to the nearby Straughn High School, which has a student population that is 93.73% White. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in Summative Assessments below the state averages in Mathematics, Science, and English. Notably, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.97% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby Opp High School (61.58%) and Straughn High School (65.8%).

Despite these challenges, Andalusia High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2, lower than the nearby Opp High School (15.5) and Straughn High School (15.9). The school's fluctuating academic performance and the need to address potential achievement gaps between different racial groups, as well as the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population, present opportunities for the school to implement targeted interventions and collaborate with nearby schools to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
