Summary:
Zip code 36027 is home to a single public high school, Eufaula High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 within the Eufaula City district, enrolling 728 students in a predominantly rural Alabama area.
As the only high school in this zip code, Eufaula High School is the clear academic leader within its own district, outperforming the Eufaula City average in every core subject by significant margins—for example, nearly doubling the district’s math proficiency rate. However, the school still trails the state average by roughly 10 to 15 percentage points in math, science, and English. In the most recent school year, only 15.8% of 11th graders were proficient in math, 27.2% in science, and 19.2% in English, compared to state averages of 27.2%, 36.2%, and 33.7%, respectively. The school’s state ranking has also slipped notably, falling from the 55th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026.
One of the most pressing concerns is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 17%—far above the district’s 3.3% and the state’s 12%. This likely contributes to the graduation rate of 83%, which is below the state’s 91.5%. On a positive note, proficiency rates improved in all three subjects between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, suggesting recent efforts may be gaining traction. With nearly 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a high-poverty population, and per-student spending was $12,543 in 2018-2019. Parents should note that while the school faces clear challenges, it is a relative bright spot within its district and shows signs of academic momentum.
