Summary

Straughn High School in Andalusia, AL, serves 433 students in grades 9-12 within the Covington County district, and it has built a strong reputation for consistent academic excellence and impressive student outcomes.

One of the most standout features of Straughn High School is its exceptional graduation rate of 98.9% for 2024-2025. This figure significantly surpasses both the state average (91.5%) and the district average (95.7%), and it also outperforms nearby schools like Elba High School (89.1%), Opp High School (94.3%), and Andalusia High School (95.8%). Academically, the school consistently beats both district and state averages in math, science, and English. Its English Language Arts program is particularly noteworthy, with 11th graders achieving a 54.35% proficiency rate in 2024-2025 compared to just 30.24% statewide. The school also excels at supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for this group, a remarkable achievement given that nearly 44% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Straughn also stands out for its efficiency and steady improvement. The school achieves these strong results while spending less per student ($9,506) than nearby schools like Opp ($12,597) and Elba ($12,527). Additionally, the school has made dramatic progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, cutting it from 22.5% in 2021-2022 to just 10.9% in 2024-2025—a rate lower than all its local peers. While the school has shown a recent dip in performance for male students, its overall decade-long track record of ranking between the 65th and 91st percentiles statewide demonstrates reliable, sustainable success. For families in the Andalusia area, Straughn High School offers a compelling combination of high graduation rates, strong academics, and a proven commitment to helping all students succeed.
