Summary

Crooms Academy Of Information Technology is a magnet high school in Sanford, FL, serving 738 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-ranked Seminole County Public Schools district. This school stands out as a top performer in the state, ranking 70th out of 838 high schools in Florida (92nd percentile), and has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for three consecutive years—a feat no nearby comprehensive high school has matched.

What truly sets Crooms apart is its exceptional academic performance across nearly every subject. For example, 87% of 10th graders are proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 68% district-wide, and 95% are proficient in Biology 1 versus 80% in the district. The school also outperforms its closest neighbor, Seminole High School, which has a lower state rank (341st) and a 95.4% graduation rate. Even Oviedo High School, the next best in the district (ranked 193rd), trails Crooms in every academic metric. Interestingly, Crooms achieves these results despite having a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (39.84%) than Oviedo (31.49%), suggesting its focused IT curriculum is highly effective at overcoming socioeconomic barriers.

However, there are a few areas to note. Crooms has a notable weak point in Algebra 1 proficiency (44%), which is below the district average (66%), though students quickly catch up in Geometry (80%). Additionally, chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 5.4% in 2019-2020 to 26.2%, now slightly above the district average of 25.3%. Despite these concerns, the school’s smaller size (738 students versus 3,807 at Seminole High) and higher per-student spending ($10,928) appear to be a smart investment, yielding the best academic outcomes in the region. For parents seeking a focused, high-achieving environment with a technology emphasis, Crooms Academy is a standout choice.
