Summary

Professional & Technical High School is a public magnet high school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 533 students. As part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 57th out of 67 districts in Florida, this school stands out as an exceptional institution with consistently high academic performance.

Professional & Technical High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Florida, with a statewide ranking between 12th and 53rd out of 744-844 high schools over the past 9 years. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating exceptional academic performance. This is reflected in the school's significantly higher test scores compared to the Osceola district and the state of Florida, with proficiency rates ranging from 84% to 97% in core subjects like Algebra, Geometry, Biology, and US History. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rates have consistently been higher than the district average, ranging from 84.8% to 100% over the past 5 years.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the state average, they are still lower than the Osceola district's average. This suggests that the school may be facing similar challenges with student attendance as the broader district, but its academic achievements still set it apart from nearby schools like Osceola High School, Victory Charter School, and Tohopekaliga High School. The higher spending per student at Professional & Technical High School compared to the district average may also contribute to its academic success.
