Summary

Daphne High School, located at 9300 Champions Way in Daphne, AL, is a comprehensive public high school serving 1,639 students in grades 9-12 within the Baldwin County School District.

Daphne High School is a consistently high-performing school, earning 5-star ratings in eight of the past ten years and ranking in the top 5% of Alabama high schools (19th out of roughly 350 schools) in the most recent school year. Academic proficiency rates are strong across the board, with 11th-grade students scoring roughly double the state average in math (48.5% vs. 27.2%), science (51.5% vs. 36.2%), and English (59.5% vs. 33.7%). The school is particularly effective with specific student groups, ranking 2nd in the state for Hispanic student performance and 2nd for military-connected students—a meaningful strength given the area's proximity to Mobile military installations. Daphne also achieves these results efficiently, spending about $9,220 per student, which is less than nearby Spanish Fort High School ($10,360) and Robertsdale High School ($9,855).

While Daphne is a strong school, it trails its immediate Baldwin County neighbors Fairhope High School and Spanish Fort High School on academic proficiency measures, despite serving a student population with higher economic need (27.6% free/reduced lunch vs. 21.9% and 16.7%, respectively). The most pressing concerns are a recent decline in the graduation rate to 88.7% (below the state average of 91.5%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.3%, which is higher than the district (11.2%) and state (12.0%) averages. The school also shows some year-to-year volatility in outcomes for special education and other subgroups. However, with a decade of stability never ranking below the 81st percentile statewide, Daphne High School has strong institutional systems in place to address these challenges and potentially close the gap with its higher-performing neighbors.
