On April 9, The Phillipian, vol. CXLVIII, sent out the 2025 "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 74.2% of the student
body - 865 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.
