SAT / ACT participation
CRDC federal data · 2020-2176th percentile by test-taker volume
Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2020-21). Volume — not score — is what's reported here. A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.
Teacher workforce · federal CRDC
Teacher experience & reliability
Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2017-18 — the most recent vintage that publishes per-school teacher quality fields; the 2020-21 sweep had them suppressed). "Inexperienced" = teachers in their first or second year. "Chronic absence" = teachers absent 10+ days/year.
Federal Title I context
Lower-need school
Not Title I eligible (FRPL < 25%)
<25% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Well below the Title I threshold; expect a higher-income student body on average.
Source: NCES Common Core of Data, free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.
Your state's public flagship
University of Florida
The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $6,541/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Florida School Grade
Florida's official A–F school grade.
Every Florida public school earns an annual A–F grade from the state — the single signal Florida families (and the housing market) watch most. It rolls achievement, learning gains, graduation, and college/career readiness into one letter.
How does Florida grade a high school? →
A high school's grade is the percent of possible points across up to 11 components — English/math achievement and learning gains, science & social-studies achievement, the 4-year graduation rate, and College & Career Acceleration: the share of graduates who earned college credit (via AP, IB, AICE, or dual enrollment) or an industry certification. Letter cutoffs: A ≥ 62%, B ≥ 54%, C ≥ 41%, D ≥ 32%, F below.
Source: Florida Department of Education, School Grades, 2023-24. Graduation rate & College/Career Acceleration components reflect the prior cohort year, per FLDOE's grading model.
Chronic absenteeism
Why this matters to enrollment: A low chronic-absence rate is the cleanest school-level signal of strong family connection, classroom culture, and student engagement — all upstream drivers of enrollment stability.
Source: U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Data Collection 2020–2021. Rate = students chronically absent ÷ 2021 total enrollment.
Counselor capacity
Source: U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Data Collection 2020-2021. Counselor ratio = the school's most recent total enrollment ÷ counselor FTE. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends a 250:1 maximum; the US national median across schools with on-staff counselors is roughly 430:1.
