Ir Prep

Public Grades 5-12

Summary

Ir Prep is a small public high school in Vero Beach, Florida, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of just 56 students. The school is part of the Indian River District, which is ranked 7th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Ir Prep has consistently struggled academically. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida high schools over the past decade, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on state exams are typically 20-50 percentage points lower than the district and state averages, and the school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 0% to 96.2%, indicating significant variability. Ir Prep also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, much higher than the district and state.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Ir Prep's performance and that of nearby high-performing schools, such as Indian River Charter High School and Lincoln Park Academy, which consistently rank in the top 20-25% of Florida high schools. Additionally, Ir Prep's high per-student spending, ranging from $28,292 to $53,633 in recent years, suggests potential inefficiencies in resource allocation and utilization.
