Summary

Loachapoka High School is a small, rural public school in Loachapoka, AL, serving 277 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Lee County school district, where 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Loachapoka has experienced a dramatic academic decline in the most recent school year, falling from the 46th percentile statewide (2023-2024) to the 12th percentile (2025-2026). This drop is visible across all subjects: 11th grade science proficiency fell from 27% to just 6%, English fell from 24% to 10%, and math sits at 14%—all well below state averages. The school's graduation rate has also been volatile, swinging between 79% and 94% over the past four years, with the most recent rate at 81.4% compared to the state average of 91.5%. This recent performance places Loachapoka closer to Booker T Washington High (14th percentile) than to nearby Auburn High School (94th percentile), despite being in the same district as the higher-performing Beauregard High School (69th percentile).

There are some bright spots worth noting. The school has made remarkable progress reducing chronic absenteeism from 28% (2021-2022) to 11.3% (2024-2025)—now below the state average. Loachapoka also invests heavily in its students, spending $20,320 per student (nearly double nearby schools) and maintaining a favorable 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio. Historically, the school has shown it can serve its African American students well, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for this group in 2023-2024. However, the recent decline across all subjects and both genders suggests systemic challenges. With its strong resources, improving attendance, and demonstrated past success, Loachapoka has the foundation to reverse this trend, but the coming years will be critical.
