Summary

North Port High School is a public high school in North Port, Florida, serving 2,577 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Sarasota School District, which is ranked 11th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While North Port High School has seen fluctuating graduation rates, ranging from 88.0% to 92.5% in recent years, it has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.0% to 31.4%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages, as well as the rates at nearby schools like Venice Senior High School. The school's test scores also lag behind the Sarasota district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Interestingly, the nearby State College of Florida Collegiate School-Venice, a public charter high school, consistently outperforms North Port High School on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. Additionally, North Port High School serves a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.19%) compared to nearby schools, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population. Despite these challenges, North Port High School's spending per student has increased from $9,579 in 2020-2021 to $11,640 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools.

This is the first school that my son has ever felt worthwhile at. His grades improved dramatically and school involvement improved as well. The faculty are very helpful and the student to teacher ratio seems fair and adequate. Close Quote
