The school served Orange Beach and several unincorporated areas prior to the 2019 separation. For the 2019-2020 school year Orange Beach grade 7-10 students and grade 7-10 students in unincorporated areas had a choice between remaining with Gulf Shores schools or attending temporary classrooms established by Baldwin County schools.^[5] Orange Beach Middle and High School opened in 2020.^[6]
