Summary

Pleasant Home School is a PK-12 school in Andalusia, AL, serving 508 students within the Covington County school district, which is ranked in the 65th percentile statewide.

Pleasant Home School shows real strengths in the early grades and at graduation. Third-grade English proficiency has stayed above 72% for three straight years, and in the most recent testing cycle, 4th-grade English (68.97%) and 5th-grade English (69.57%) both met or exceeded state averages. The school also posts a strong 92.5% graduation rate, above the state average, and has maintained rates above 90% for four consecutive years, including a perfect 100% in 2021-2022. Chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half since 2021-2022, dropping to 7.3%—well below the state's 12.0%. In 8th-grade science, the school jumped to 69.23% proficiency, far outpacing the state average of 54.12% and the nearby Red Level School's 25.71%. The school also saw a dramatic one-year spike in 11th-grade math (42.42% proficient in 2024-2025, nearly double the state average), though scores returned to 15.15% the following year, suggesting that improvement may have been tied to a particular cohort.

The main area of concern is a "middle school dip." In 6th-grade math, only 39.29% of students were proficient versus the district's 58.38%, and 7th-grade math came in at 21.62% versus the district's 35.96%. This pattern suggests a transition challenge as students move from elementary to middle school. However, the school's strong elementary foundation and excellent 8th-grade science results indicate that targeted support in middle school math could yield significant gains. With a declining free/reduced lunch population (now 55.12%), improving attendance, and strong graduation outcomes, Pleasant Home School appears to be on a positive trajectory overall.
