Summary

Oxford High School is a large public high school in Oxford, Alabama, serving 1,242 students in grades 9-12 within the Oxford City district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks 37th out of 139 districts statewide.

Oxford High School is the largest school in its immediate area—more than double the size of nearby White Plains High School (480 students) and Alexandria High School (498 students). This scale allows for a wider range of courses and activities, but it also brings challenges. The school's most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism: 18% of students were chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year, well above the state average of 12% and dramatically higher than White Plains (5.3%) and Alexandria (8.4%). This attendance problem is likely a key factor in the school's recent ranking decline from 86th to 135th out of 380 high schools statewide. Despite this, Oxford maintains a strong 93.7% graduation rate, exceeding the state average of 91.5%.

Academically, Oxford shows a clear strength in English language arts, with 36.98% of 11th graders proficient—above the state average of 33.73% and a trend that has held for three consecutive years. However, math and science proficiency lag significantly, with only 23.27% proficient in math and 33.02% in science, trailing smaller neighbors like White Plains (47.83% science proficiency). The school spends $11,859 per student, more than White Plains ($10,143) and Alexandria ($10,447), yet doesn't achieve the same results in STEM subjects. On a positive note, Oxford serves its African American students exceptionally well, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide, and English Language Learners have shown strong improvement. The school's Special Education population, however, has seen a concerning drop in performance, falling from the 66th to the 31st percentile. With its strong literacy foundation and financial resources, Oxford has the tools to improve—but addressing attendance and STEM instruction will be critical to reversing its recent decline.
