Summary:
In zip code 32428, there is one high school, Chipley High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Chipley, Florida area, which is part of the Washington school district.
Chipley High School has a total enrollment of 563 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20.1:1. The school shows a mixed academic profile. It excels in Biology 1 and US History, with proficiency rates of 73% and 72% respectively, which are close to or above state averages. However, it struggles significantly in mathematics, with only 19% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 43% in Geometry, both well below state and district averages. The school's graduation rate is 91.2%, slightly below the state average of 92.2%. A major concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 45.4%, which is notably higher than the state average of 31.4% and the district average of 41.8%. This is particularly striking given that only 29.31% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a relatively low percentage that often correlates with higher attendance.
The school's state ranking has been declining over the past three years, dropping from the 52nd percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 42nd percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. Per-student spending is $11,112. The key takeaway is that Chipley High School has clear strengths in science and history but faces significant challenges in mathematics and student attendance. The declining test scores and high absenteeism suggest that targeted interventions in math instruction and strategies to improve daily attendance are needed to reverse the downward trend and improve overall student outcomes.
