Summary

Fleming Island High School in Orange Park, FL, is a large public high school serving 1,765 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Clay County School District, which is ranked 17th out of 70 districts in Florida.

Fleming Island High School is the clear academic leader in Clay County, consistently ranking in the top 15% of high schools in Florida and boasting a 97.9% graduation rate—nearly 3 points higher than the district average and over 5 points higher than the state average. The school excels in core subjects, with 79% of 10th graders proficient in English Language Arts and an impressive 90% proficiency in Biology, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Orange Park High School (73% Biology proficiency) and Middleburg High School (83% Biology proficiency). However, the school faces a surprising challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 32.8%, which is higher than the state average and unusual for a high-performing school. This suggests that while many students achieve at very high levels, a significant portion of the student body may be disengaged or facing barriers to attendance.

While Fleming Island dominates its immediate district, it is outperformed by elite schools in the neighboring St. Johns County district, such as Creekside High School, which has proficiency rates in the 90s for Biology and Geometry. The school has also seen a slight dip in its state ranking, from 55th in 2023-2024 to 122nd in 2025-2026, which coincides with rising chronic absenteeism and a drop in Algebra 1 proficiency. Despite these concerns, Fleming Island remains a top choice in the area, offering strong academic outcomes and efficient resource allocation, spending $9,866 per student—less than some peers like Ridgeview High School ($10,865) while achieving superior results.
