Neocity Academy, located about 8 miles away, consistently outperforms Poinciana High School in academic measures, with proficiency rates that are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the relatively high percentage of students from low-income families at Poinciana High School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, suggesting opportunities for improvement in areas such as instructional practices, student support services, and addressing the needs of the school's demographic population.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, July 6, 2010

The teachers do not communicate with parents when they feel the student is in danger of failing. I have had much difficulty trying to reach the Guidance Department to discuss problems with teachers or to arrange a parent teacher conference, calls are seldom returned. On two occasions when my child told me she was having problems with classes it turned out to be mistakes on the part of the teachers almost costing her 2 letter grades. In one instance a teacher told me she didn't know she had to hit the save button to save the grade resulting in my daughter receiving 0's. These teachers are the ones teaching our children.
