Summary

Pleasant Home School is an alternative public school located in Andalusia, Alabama, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 511 students. The school is part of the Covington County School District, which is ranked 61 out of 135 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Pleasant Home School is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.2% to 93.8% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school outperforms the Covington County and Alabama state averages in several subject areas and grade levels, such as Summative Assessment/Mathematics, Summative Assessment/Science, and Summative Assessment/English. However, the school also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.5% to 17.9% over the past few years, which are higher than the state average.

Another notable aspect of Pleasant Home School is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.05% to 62.65% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,216, which is higher than the $8,239 spent per student at the nearby Red Level School. These insights suggest that Pleasant Home School is working to support its students, but there are areas for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to resources.
