High Schools in Covington County

Summary:

The Covington County school district in Alabama is home to two high schools: Straughn High School and Florala High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities in the region.

Straughn High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the Covington County area. It consistently ranks among the best high schools in Alabama, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic proficiency across multiple subjects. In contrast, Florala High School lags behind, ranking 210 out of 374 Alabama high schools and performing below the county and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics.

Both schools maintain a commendable 90% 4-year graduation rate, but Florala High School has a slightly higher dropout rate of 5.2% compared to the state average. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools, over 60%, suggests a significant socioeconomic challenge in the Covington County region that may contribute to the observed academic performance disparities.
