Summary

Andrews High is a public high school located in Andrews, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Cherokee County Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Andrews High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 107 out of 469 high schools in 2017-2018 (4-star rating) to 443 out of 641 high schools in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). The school's performance is particularly low for its female, male, and white student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools. However, the school performs better for its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top half of schools in several years. Andrews High's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 86.9% to 94.4%, which are generally above the state average but lower than the nearby Murphy High School.

Andrews High's test scores in End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Biology and Math I. The school performs better in English II and Math III, but still lags behind the state and district in these areas. Interestingly, Andrews High spends $14,037 per student, which is higher than the nearby Tri-County Early College High ($7,830 per student) and Murphy High ($10,724 per student), but this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the school.
