State
of the
Academy
2024

On March 29, The Phillipian, vol. CXLVII, sent out the 2024 "State of the Academy" to the entirety of Andover's student body in hopes of obtaining valuable information about the community.

The Phillipian received a participation rate of 74.4% of the student body - 859 participants. The anonymous survey asked a comprehensive set of 146 questions comprising nine sections: General, Politics & Worldview, Education, Wellness, Drugs & Alcohol, Sex, Campus Culture, Community Diversity, and Discipline.

To determine correlations, The Phillipian analyzed the CSV file of all responses from Survey Monkey with Python. The Phillipian proceeded to use PANDAS, matplotlib.plotly, and numpy libraries to find correlations between each question.

We sincerely thank the members of the student body for their willingness to share information and personal experiences for this annual issue of The Phillipian, and we hope that the State of the Academy will serve to inform, enlighten, and create a more holistic narrative of the students at Andover.
