Summary

New Horizons Learning Center is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Panama City, Florida, with a student population of just 91 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor academic performance.

Across various standardized tests, New Horizons Learning Center has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the Bay District and the state of Florida. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 86.2% in recent years, and lower-than-average graduation rates. Additionally, a high percentage of students, ranging from 72.9% to 78.02%, receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When comparing New Horizons Learning Center to other nearby schools in the Bay District, it stands out as the lowest-performing school. For example, North Bay Haven Career Academy, a public charter high school, consistently ranks in the top 5-10% of Florida high schools and has much higher proficiency rates and graduation rates. Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $30,453 to $40,536 in recent years, the challenges at New Horizons Learning Center appear to be rooted in addressing the unique needs of its student population and effectively utilizing resources to support student learning.
