Summary

Lemon Bay High School is a mid-sized public high school in Englewood, FL, serving 1,343 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Charlotte district, which ranks 29th out of 70 districts in Florida.

Lemon Bay’s strongest asset is its exceptional graduation rate, which reached 98.4% for the 2024-2025 school year—well above the district average of 91.6% and the state average of 92.2%. This rate has remained above 96% for five years, making it the highest among comparable traditional high schools in the area, including Charlotte High School (94.7%) and Port Charlotte High School (91.5%). However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which stood at 38.7% for the 2023-2024 school year—much higher than the district (31.2%) and state (31.4%) averages. This is a stark contrast to nearby Venice Senior High School in the higher-ranked Sarasota district, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 15.5%.

Academically, Lemon Bay excels in English Language Arts and Social Studies, with 65% of 10th graders proficient in ELA and 81% proficient in US History—both outperforming district and state averages. Yet, it struggles in math, with only 50% of students proficient in Algebra 1, below the district (56%) and state (63%) averages. This math deficit is a persistent issue, with scores dropping as low as 31% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school’s per-student spending of $12,090 is higher than the magnet Florida Southwestern Collegiate High School ($9,087), which boasts a 5-star rating and 91% Geometry proficiency, suggesting that Lemon Bay’s challenges are more about instructional strategies and student engagement than funding.
